Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic superblocks are described. In some examples, a superblock may be established across one or more dice of a memory device. A superblock may include one or more blocks from a plurality of planes of a memory die, and may be associated with a first performance cursor or a second performance cursor. The superblock may be established based on one or more criteria, such as a quantity of available blocks in a plane, a quantity of access operations performed on one or more blocks in a plane, or other criteria. Establishing a superblock associated with a first performance cursor may allow for performance criteria established by a host device to be maintained, while establishing a superblock associated with a second performance cursor may allow for garbage collection, wear leveling, and other maintenance operations to be performed on the memory device.
