Abstract
In some implementations, a memory apparatus may transmit, to a host system, an indication of an amount of internal maintenance operation work to be completed for the memory apparatus, wherein the amount of internal maintenance operation work is based on at least one of: one or more lifespan utilization parameters, or one or more types of additional maintenance operations to be performed by the memory apparatus. The memory apparatus may receive, from the host system, scheduling information for one or more internal maintenance operations, wherein the scheduling information is based on the amount of internal maintenance operation work. The memory apparatus may perform the one or more internal maintenance operations in accordance with the scheduling information.
Claims25
A memory apparatus, comprising:
- one or more controllers configured to:
- transmit, to a host system, an indication of an amount of internal maintenance operation work to be completed for the memory apparatus,
- wherein the amount of internal maintenance operation work is based on at least one of:
- one or more lifespan utilization parameters, or
- one or more types of additional maintenance operations to be performed by the memory apparatus;
- receive, from the host system, scheduling information for one or more internal maintenance operations,
- wherein the scheduling information is based on the amount of internal maintenance operation work;
- and
- perform, in accordance with the scheduling information, the one or more internal maintenance operations.
A host system, comprising:
- one or more controllers configured to:
- receive, from a memory apparatus, an indication of an amount of internal maintenance operation work to be completed by the memory apparatus;
- and
- transmit, to the memory apparatus, scheduling information for internal maintenance operations,
- wherein the scheduling information indicates an amount of time during which the memory apparatus can perform the internal maintenance operations, and
- wherein the scheduling information is based on the amount of internal maintenance operation work.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a memory apparatus and to a host system, an indication of an adjusted amount of work for internal maintenance operations to be completed for the memory apparatus,
- wherein the adjusted amount of work is adjusted from a size of the internal maintenance operations;
- receiving, by the memory apparatus and from the host system, scheduling information for the internal maintenance operations,
- wherein the scheduling information is based on the adjusted amount of work;
- and
- performing, by the memory apparatus and in accordance with the scheduling information, one or more internal maintenance operations.
