Abstract

See full text

In an example embodiment, data is transferred from a higher speed memory to a lower speed memory or data storage device after determining a size of a block of data to be written to the lower speed memory. In an example embodiment data is collected in the higher speed memory until an amount of collected data is equal to or greater than the size of the block to be written, and then the collected data is transferred to the lower speed memory or data storage. In an example embodiment, the block size can be a predefined erase block size of the lower speed memory. In an example embodiment, the lower speed device is a flash memory.
