MEMORY MODULE, SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATION METHOD OF MEMORY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17715158 titled 'MEMORY MODULE, SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATION METHOD OF MEMORY MODULE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a memory module that includes a device memory and a controller with an accelerator circuit. The controller can control the device memory, exclude a specific memory area from the system memory map, and modify a memory configuration register. The accelerator circuit can use the excluded memory area for acceleration operations.

  • The memory module has a device memory with two areas: a first memory area and a second memory area.
  • The controller, which includes an accelerator circuit, can control the device memory.
  • In response to a mode change request, the controller can transmit a command to the host processor to exclude the first memory area from the system memory map.
  • The controller can also modify a memory configuration register to exclude the first memory area.
  • The accelerator circuit is configured to utilize the first memory area for acceleration operations.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various computing systems that require memory acceleration operations.
  • It can be applied in data centers, servers, and high-performance computing environments where memory-intensive tasks need to be accelerated.

Problems Solved

  • The memory module allows for efficient memory management by excluding a specific memory area from the system memory map.
  • It solves the problem of optimizing memory usage by utilizing the excluded memory area for acceleration operations.

Benefits

  • By excluding the first memory area from the system memory map, the memory module can allocate it exclusively for acceleration operations, improving overall system performance.
  • The ability to modify the memory configuration register allows for flexible memory management and customization.
  • The accelerator circuit enhances the memory module's capabilities by utilizing the excluded memory area for acceleration tasks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A memory module includes a device memory configured to store data and including a first memory area and a second memory area, and a controller including an accelerator circuit. The controller is configured to control the device memory, transmit a command to exclude the first memory area from the system memory map to a host processor in response to a mode change request, and modify a memory configuration register to exclude the first memory area from the memory configuration register. The accelerator circuit is configured to use the first memory area to perform an acceleration operation.
