OPTIMIZED COLD BOOT FOR NON-VOLATILE MEMORY

摘要

Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses and methods for faster solid state drive (SSD) boot-up. On boot-up, SSD control algorithms may load non - logical to physical (L2P) parts of a context and signal the system that the SSD is ready. The context may comprise various state data pertaining to the SSD. After signaling that the SSD may be ready to receive access requests, the SSD control algorithms may begin loading segments of the L2P table sequentially. Access to the L2P table may be blocked, however, when a requested segment has not yet been loaded. In such cases, the SSD control algorithms may then load the requested segment out of turn and then service the access request.
