Logical-to-physical (L2P) table sharping strategy

Abstract:

A method for managing logical-to-physical (L2P) mappings in a memory subsystem is described. The method includes updating, by a set of processing units, an L2P table based on a set of journal pages from the non-volatile memory. The L2P table prior to the update includes a first set of entries from a table snapshot and the table includes a second set of entries following the update from a set of journal pages. Each L2P table entry (1) corresponds to a logical address in a set of logical addresses and (2) includes a physical address of a set of memory components. The set of logical addresses are categorized into zones and each processing unit is assigned to a separate zone such that each processing unit updates the first set of entries based on an assigned zone of a corresponding logical address and each zone includes at least two non-contiguous logical addresses.
