A hybrid solid-state disk (SSD) has multi-level-cell (MLC) or single-level-cell (SLC) flash memory, or both. SLC flash may be emulated by MLC that uses fewer cell states. A NVM controller converts logical block addresses (LBA) to physical block addresses (PBA). Most data is block-mapped and stored in MLC flash, but some critical or high-frequency data is page-mapped to reduce block-relocation copying. A hybrid mapping table has a first-level and a second level. Only the first level is used for block-mapped data, but both levels are used for page-mapped data. The first level contains a block-page bit that indicates if the data is block-mapped or page-mapped. A PBA field in the first-level table maps block-mapped data, while a virtual field points to the second-level table where the PBA and page number is stored for page-mapped data. Page-mapped data is identified by a frequency counter or sector count. SRAM space is reduced.

A system and method for enhanced frequency measurement. Embodiments provide an effective mechanism for reducing error associated with frequency measurements by amplifying the frequency of the signal fed to the frequency counter, thereby increasing the number of counts and reducing the error associated with each frequency measurement. Reductions in error enable the gate time for the frequency counter to be reduced, thereby increasing efficiency and cost-savings. After accessing the counts provided for the amplified frequency, the original frequency before amplification may be determined by reducing the amplified frequency (e.g., represented by the accessed counts) by the amount by which the original frequency was amplified. Embodiments provide an effective and efficient mechanism for automatically determining the amount of amplification for a given signal based upon its frequency and a maximum frequency of at least one of the frequency amplification component and the frequency counter.

A method, system and computer program product for managing bursts of traffic. A counter, referred to herein as a “frequency counter,” is incremented during those time intervals an overload condition is detected and is decremented during those time intervals an overload condition is not detected. An overload condition may refer to when the number of out-of-dialog messages exceeds a threshold value corresponding to the maximum number of out-of-dialog messages that should be accepted and forwarded to an associated session server. If the count of the frequency counter exceeds some pre-configured value, then traffic that exceeds the threshold for the overload condition is stopped from being sent to the associated session server. Otherwise, traffic that exceeds the threshold for the overload condition is permitted to be sent to the associated session server. By managing bursts of traffic in such a manner, the effective utilization of session servers is improved.
