Abstract
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to memory operations on data. An example method can include executing an operation by writing a first managed unit to a second managed unit, and placing the first managed unit in a free state, wherein the first managed unit is located at a particular distance from the second managed unit.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a controller, that a first managed unit is located at a particular distance from a second managed unit, wherein the particular distance corresponds to a particular quantity of managed units physically between two managed units;
- writing data stored in the first managed unit to the second managed unit;
- and
- placing the first managed unit in a free state.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory array;
- and
- a controller coupled to the memory array and configured to:
- determine that a first managed unit of the memory array is located at a particular distance from a second managed unit of the memory array, wherein the particular distance corresponds to a particular quantity of managed units physically between two managed units;
- write data stored in the first managed unit to the second managed unit;
- and
- place the first managed unit in a free state.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory array;
- and
- a controller coupled to the memory array and configured to:
- move first data to a first managed unit from a second managed unit that is located at a particular distance from the first managed unit, wherein the particular distance corresponds to a particular quantity of managed units physically between the first managed unit and the second managed unit;
- place the second managed unit in a free state;
- and
- move second data to the second managed unit from a third managed unit that is located at the particular distance from the second managed unit.
