Abstract

A data processing method for a computer system is provided. The computer system includes a host and an open-channel solid state drive. The open-channel solid state drive is connected with the host. The data processing method includes the following steps. Firstly, plural block characteristic parameters of a specified block in a non-volatile memory of the open-channel solid state drive are collected. Then, the plural block characteristic parameters are inputted into a prediction function, so that a prediction value is acquired. If the prediction value exceeds a threshold value, a data in the specified block of the non-volatile memory is moved to a blank block of the non-volatile memory by the host.

Claims (12)

1. A data processing method for a computer system, the computer system comprising a host and an open-channel solid state drive, the open-channel solid state drive being connected with the host, the data processing method comprising steps of:

collecting plural block characteristic parameters of a specified block in a non-volatile memory of the open-channel solid state drive;

inputting the plural block characteristic parameters into a prediction function, so that a prediction value is acquired; and

judging whether the prediction value exceeds a threshold value, wherein if the prediction value exceeds the threshold value, a data in the specified block of the non-volatile memory is moved to a blank block of the non-volatile memory by the host.

2. The data processing method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plural block characteristic parameters include an operating temperature of the open-channel solid state drive, a read retry rate of the specified block, a write operation count of the specified block in a specified time interval and a read operation count of the specified block in the specified time interval.

3. The data processing method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein after the host issues an operating temperature inquiry request to the open-channel solid state drive, the operating temperature of the open-channel solid state drive is transmitted from a control circuit of the open-channel solid state drive to the host.

4. The data processing method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the operating temperature is an operating temperature of the specified block in the non-volatile memory, and the operating temperature of the specified block in the non-volatile memory is transmitted from the control circuit to the host according to a specified physical block address.

5. The data processing method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein after a read retry rate inquiry request corresponding to the specified physical block address is issued from the host to the open-channel solid state drive, a control circuit of the open-channel solid state drive calculates a read retry rate of the specified block and transmits the read retry rate to the host.

6. The data processing method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the prediction value is expressed by a formula: P=(α×M×t)+(β×t)+(γ×N×r %)+(δ×r %), wherein P is the prediction value, α is first weight, β is a second weight, γ is a third weight, δ is a fourth weight, M is the write operation count, t is the operating temperature, N is the read operation count, and r is the read retry rate.

7. The data processing method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plural block characteristic parameters include a block erase count, a program time and an erase time of the specified block.

8. The data processing method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the host comprises an open-channel solid state drive driver, and the prediction function is included in the open-channel solid state drive driver, wherein after the plural block characteristic parameters are collected by the host and inputted into the prediction function, the prediction value is acquired.

9. The data processing method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the prediction function is installed in the control circuit, wherein after a prediction value inquiry request corresponding to the specified block is issued from the host to the solid state drive, the control circuit collects the plural block characteristic parameters of the specified block and inputs the block characteristic parameters into the prediction function, so that the prediction value is acquired.
