Paragraph Number

73

The non-volatile memory media controller 126 may further comprise a read pipeline 241 that is configured to read contextual data from the non-volatile memory media 122 in response to requests received via the bus 125. The requests may comprise a logical address of the requested data, a media address of the requested data, and so on. The read pipeline 241 may be configured to read data stored in a contextual format from the non-volatile memory media 122 and to provide the data to the SML 130 and/or a storage client 116. The read pipeline 241 may be configured to determine the media address of the data using a logical address of the data and the metadata 135. Alternatively, or in addition, the SML 130 may determine the media address of the data and may include the media address in the request. The log storage module 248 may provide the media address to the non-volatile memory elements 123, and the data may stream into the read pipeline 241 via a buffer. The read pipeline 241 may comprise one or more read synchronization buffers for clock domain synchronization, as described above.
