A memory system comprises a flash memory and a controller comprising a control logic circuit and a working memory storing a flash translation layer. The memory system performs a merge operation by selectively copying a page from a first block of the flash memory to a second block of the flash memory. Where the page is valid and marked as allocated according to a file allocation table stored in the flash memory, the page is copied to the second block. However, where the page is valid and marked as deleted in the file allocation table, the page is not copied to the second block.

Embodiments provide a method and apparatus for executing instructions. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a load instruction and a store instruction and calculating a load effective address of load data for the load instruction and a store effective address of store data for the store instruction. The method further includes comparing the load effective address with the store effective address and speculatively forwarding the store data for the store instruction from a first pipeline in which the store instruction is being executed to a second pipeline in which the load instruction is being executed. The load instruction receives the store data from the first pipeline and requested data from a data cache. If the load effective address matches the store effective address, the speculatively forwarded store data is merged with the load data. If the load effective address does not match the store effective address the requested data from the data cache is merged with the load data.

A system and method for using biometric data received from a user to generate feedback messages for transmission to the user while the user performs a physical activity. Wireless biometric sensors such as those used to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse rate are integrated into a user's diet and exercise plan and the personalized instruction that the individual receives. An expert system uses the biometric data to monitor the effectiveness of the physical activity and generate feedback messages. The expert system then sends the messages to the user's mobile device. The messages may inform the user of the biometric data, may provide positive reinforcement related to the user's progress toward a stated goal, or may suggest modifications to the physical activity to assist the user in reaching a stated goal.

Using a local storage device to read desired data stored on a remote storage device that receives chunks of data from the local storage device includes, if the desired data is entirely in a cache of the local storage device, the local storage device returning the data from the cache and, if the desired data is not entirely in a cache of the local storage device, reading data from the remote storage device to the local storage device and the local storage device merging the data from the remote storage device with data from the local storage device at the local storage device. Using a local storage device to read desired data stored on a remote storage device that receives chunks of data from the local storage device may also include, prior to reading data from the remote storage device to the local storage device, creating a temporary storage area at the local storage device if there is data from the local storage device that is to be read. The temporary storage area may be a scratch slot.

Converting data from a first format to a second format may be used to merge two databases having different formatting. Conversion maps may be defined for pairs of formats and may be used to convert data between the pair of formats. Data may further be transformed from one information type or format into another information type or format. In one example, a first format may allow storage of a social security number while a second format might not. Thus, a social security number stored in the first format may be converted to an employee number for storage in the second format. Collisions between pieces of data may be detected and managed by generating an identifier for the pieces of data (e.g., data records) and merging the pieces of data into a single piece or portion of data (e.g., a single data record) corresponding to the assigned identifier.

A system and method for versioning of atomic units of data (such as XML fragments) in a distributed data store are disclosed. The distributed data store may maintain a linear version history for each fragment, such that each has no more than one successor and one predecessor, with no implicit branching. An application programming interface may provide an explicit branching request (indicating an intent to merge modified data in a child branch into its parent branch), along with read, create, create-merge, and/or integrate requests. A reconciliation policy may be specified on a per-application basis, and may include automatic reconciliation using a callback function or interactive reconciliation, with inputs returned to the application. Writes to a minority side of a network partition may be refused unless an explicit branch is requested. Transactions may not be supported in client applications or may be supported through explicit branching. Transactions may be used internally.

Given the volume of apps being developed and downloaded, performing operations to enable security for mobile devices, such as locating relevant classes and substituting different classes, can become very inefficient when done to a very high number of apps. In the invention, a device is enabled with an app security enforcement layer. The consumer can download unsecured apps and have the app execute on the phone in a secure manner, where potential data loss to the device, such as a smart phone or tablet, is minimized. To make the security wrapping process more efficient, an app template containing markers is created. This template is merged with data in an active user policy or is used to randomize or obfuscate the code to add more security. The process of security wrapping an app becomes more efficient.

An electronic flash-memory card has additional pipes for commands and status messages so that data pipes are not clogged with commands and status messages, allowing for a higher data throughput. The command and status pipes are activated when a UAS/BOT detector detects that a host is using a USB-Attached-SCSI (UAS) mode rather than a Bulk-Only-Transfer (BOT) mode. The host can send additional commands and data without waiting for completion of a prior command when operating in UAS mode but not while operating in BOT mode. A command queue (CQ) in the device re-orders commands for accessing flash memory and merges data in a RAM buffer. Smaller 1 KB USB packets in the data pipes are merged into larger 8 KB payloads in the RAM buffer, allowing for more efficient flash access.
