Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying regions of a memory device are disclosed. A storage device comprises a first storage medium, a second storage medium, and a processor configured to: identify a first memory address; identify a first region of the first storage medium based on the first memory address; identify a first criterion associated with the first memory address; based on identification of the first criterion, identify a portion of the first region based on the first memory address; identify a second criterion associated with the portion; and retrieve data associated with the portion from the first storage medium to the second storage medium based on identification of the second criterion.
Claims18
A storage device comprising:
- a first storage medium associated with a first access latency;
- a second storage medium associated with a second access latency lower than the first access latency;
- a processor configured to:
- identify, based on a request from an application, a first physical memory address of the first storage medium;
- identify, based on the request, a first range of physical memory addresses of a first region of the first storage medium based on the first physical memory address;
- identify a second range of physical memory addresses of a portion of the first region based on the first physical memory address;
- identify a number of memory accesses associated with the portion;
- and
- access the first storage medium over a data interface connection and retrieve data associated with the portion from the first storage medium to the second storage medium based on the number of memory accesses to the portion.
A method comprising:
- identifying, based on a request from an application, a first physical memory address of a first storage medium;
- identifying, based on the request, a first range of physical memory addresses of a first region of a first storage medium based on the first physical memory address;
- identifying a second range of physical memory addresses of a portion of the first region based on the first physical memory address;
- identifying a number of memory accesses associated with the portion;
- and
- accessing the first storage medium over a data interface connection and retrieving data associated with the portion from the first storage medium to a second storage medium based on the number of memory accesses to the portion, wherein the first storage medium is associated with a first access latency and the second storage medium is associated with a second access latency lower than the first access latency.
