Techniques for managing context information for a storage device

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out steps that include:

• identifying context information within a non-volatile memory, wherein the context information is separated into a plurality of silos;
• accessing a transaction log that is different from the context information, wherein the transaction log is stored within the non-volatile memory;
• and
• for each silo of the plurality of silos:
• loading the silo into a volatile memory, and
• in response to identifying, within the transaction log, that at least one transaction (i) applies to the silo, and (ii) occurred after a last write of the silo into the non-volatile memory:
• updating the silo to reflect the at least one transaction.

A device, comprising:

• at least one non-volatile memory;
• at least one volatile memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• load, into the at least one volatile memory, context information from the at least one non-volatile memory, wherein the context information is separated into a plurality of silos;
• write transactions into a transaction log stored within the at least one non-volatile memory, wherein the transaction log is different from the context information;
• and
• each time a condition is satisfied:
• identify a next silo of the plurality of silos to be written into the at least one non-volatile memory,
• update the next silo to reflect transactions that apply to the next silo, and
• write the next silo into the at least one non-volatile memory.
