Abstract
Respective temperature values for a plurality of dies of a memory device is obtained. Each respective temperature value is indicative of a temperature at a corresponding die of the plurality of dies of the memory device. The plurality of dies based on the respective temperature values, each die of the plurality of dies is ordered. A zone creation command directed to the memory device is received from a host. The zone creation command on the memory device on a die of the ordered plurality of dies is performed based on a temperature threshold.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- in response to a request to create a zone, selecting a die of the memory device from an ordered linked list of dies of the memory device, wherein the ordered linked list of dies of the memory device is ordered based on respective temperature values of the dies of the memory device;
- selecting, from the ordered linked list of dies of the memory device, a first die satisfying a predetermined temperature value;
- and
- creating a zone in the selected first die, wherein the zone comprises a portion of an address space of the memory device.
A method comprising:
- in response to a request to create a zone, selecting a die of a memory device from an ordered linked list of dies of the memory device, wherein the ordered linked list of dies of the memory device is ordered based on respective temperature values of dies of the memory device;
- selecting, from the ordered linked list of dies of the memory device, a first die satisfying a predetermined temperature value;
- and
- creating a zone in the selected first die, wherein the zone comprises a portion of an address space of the memory device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- in response to a request to create a zone, selecting a die of the memory device from an ordered linked list of dies of a memory device, wherein the ordered linked list of dies of the memory device is ordered based on respective temperature values of the dies of the memory device;
- selecting, from the ordered linked list of dies of the memory device, a first die satisfying a predetermined temperature value;
- and
- creating a zone in the selected first die, wherein the zone comprises a portion of an address space of the memory device.
