Fig. 7 is the signal that host write operation shown by an exemplary embodiment according to the present invention is whole with data and operates Figure.Fig. 7 is please referred to, in host write operation, host system 11 can send at least one write instruction to indicate data 701 It is written to some logic unit.According to this write instruction, data 701 can be stored to the physics list for mapping so far logic unit First 710 (0).It is selected from the idle area 602 of Fig. 6 for example, physical unit 710 (0) can be.In an exemplary embodiment, when The preceding physical unit 710 (0) for being used to store the data 701 from host system 11 also referred to as opens block (open block). It is noted that a unlatching block also may include multiple physical units in another exemplary embodiment.
When executing host write operation, at least one data is whole and operates and can be performed.It is whole in data and operate In, physical unit 721 (0)~721 (E) that data 702 can be subordinated to source Nodes 720 are collected and are written into belonging to back Receive physical unit 731 (0)~731 (F) of node 730.Data 702 are valid data.Belong to the physical unit of source Nodes 720 721 (0)~721 (E) are physical unit 731 (0)~731 for selecting from the memory block of Fig. 6 601, and belonging to recycling node 730 It (F) is selected from the idle area 602 of Fig. 6.In an exemplary embodiment, physical unit 721 (0)~721 (E) is depositing for Fig. 6 E+1 physical unit of minimum valid data is stored in storage area 601.In an exemplary embodiment, physical unit 721 (0)~721 It (E) is to be selected from the memory block of Fig. 6 601 according to other rules, the present invention is without restriction.
In an exemplary embodiment, memory management circuitry 502 can obtain reproducible nonvolatile memorizer module 406 In first kind physical unit logic distribution information.For example, memory management circuitry 502, which can be analyzed, is stored in the first kind Logic unit belonging to data (also referred to as the first data) in physical unit is distributed with the logic for obtaining first kind physical unit Status information.The logic distribution information of first kind physical unit can reflect the first number being stored in first kind physical unit According to the dispersion of corresponding multiple logic units.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first data refer at least a part of significant figure for being stored in first kind physical unit According to.Therefore, the dispersion of logic unit corresponding to the first data, which can reflect, is stored at least one of first kind physical unit The degree of scatter (i.e. dispersion) of multiple logic units belonging to the valid data of part.For example, if being stored in first kind physics list Multiple logic units belonging to the valid data of member are that more dispersed (such as valid data are largely to correspond to multiple not connect Continuous logic unit), then it can determine that the dispersion of logic unit corresponding to the first data is higher.Alternatively, if being stored in first Multiple logic units belonging to the valid data of class physical unit be more concentrate (such as valid data largely correspond to Multiple continuous logic units), then it can determine that the dispersion of logic unit corresponding to the first data is lower.
In an exemplary embodiment, according to the dispersion of logic unit corresponding to the first data, memory management circuitry 502 can get and operating efficiency of operation relevant information whole to the data executed for first kind physical unit.For example, according to The dispersion of logic unit corresponding to first data, memory management circuitry 502 can get an assessed value.This assessed value is visual For first kind physical unit logic distribution information and to indicate the dispersion.In an exemplary embodiment, this Assessed value can reflect that record has the number of an at least table for the access information of the first data.For example, this assessed value can be positively correlated In the number of the table.For example, this is commented if record has the number of an at least table for the access information of the first data more Valuation can be bigger.Alternatively, memory management circuitry 502 can have the access of the first data to believe according to record from the point of view of another angle An at least table for breath obtains this assessed value.
In an exemplary embodiment, the access information of the first data includes the logic of the first data to physical mapping information. In an exemplary embodiment, logic to the physical mappings table for being stored in the system area 603 of Fig. 6 may be partitioned into multiple sublists, and record Record a sublist for having a table of the access information of the first data that can refer to logic to physical mappings table.Logic is to physics Each sublist of mapping table can record the logics of multiple continuous logic units in some logic scope to physical mappings Information.
