Abstract:
1. A computer implemented system comprising a memory having stored therein computer executable components and a processor that executes the following computer executable components: a specification component that determines a desired characteristic state for each cell of a plurality of multi-cell memory devices; a storage component that, alternatively, successively stores an equivalent characteristic state in each cell of the plurality of multi-cell memory devices based on, at least in part, the cell's current characteristic state, or directly stores the desired characteristic state of each cell of the plurality of multi-cell memory devices based on, at least in part, an ordering of the desired characteristic states of cells of the multi-cell memory devices; a step component that gradates the equivalent characteristic state between successive storage stages, the gradation comprises at least one of a linear or non-linear gradation; an analysis component that determines a size of gradation of the equivalent characteristic state; and an artificial intelligence component that automatically stores characteristic states in the plurality of multi-cell memory devices and either automatically determines the size of gradation of the equivalent characteristic state or automatically orders direct storage of the desired characteristic states.
