Abstract
Embodiments of this disclosure relate to improving solid-state non-volatile memory management. Embodiments improve the management of solid-state non-volatile memory by providing a central manager responsible for receiving requests from media access requesters. In embodiments, the central manager updates requests with a physical address corresponding to a logical address for a request. In embodiments, the central manager is the only entity updating a mapping table and invalid page table for the system. In embodiments, the central manager may also throttle or prioritize requests originating from two or more requesters to change the ratio of requests executed from each requester.
