SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR ORDERED ACCESS OF DATA IN BLOCK MODIFIED MEMORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17748018 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR ORDERED ACCESS OF DATA IN BLOCK MODIFIED MEMORY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for managing data in a memory system with a block modification characteristic. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves receiving a write request to store data in a data structure in the memory system.
  • The data is stored in the data structure based on the write request.
  • A read request is received to retrieve the data from the data structure.
  • The data is read from the data structure based on the read request.
  • The method indicates that the data is available for modification based on the reading.
  • A second write request is received to store additional data in the data structure.
  • The order of the first and second write requests is determined.
  • Based on the order, the method determines the first data that was read.
  • The reading process may also be based on this determination.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Memory systems with block modification characteristics, such as flash memory or solid-state drives, can benefit from this method.
  • It can be used in systems that require efficient data storage and retrieval, such as databases or file systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method provides a way to manage data in a memory system with block modification characteristics, ensuring efficient storage and retrieval.
  • It allows for the modification of data in the memory system, indicating when the data is available for modification.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency in storing and retrieving data in memory systems with block modification characteristics.
  • Enables better management of data in systems that require frequent read and write operations.
  • Provides a systematic approach to determine the order of write requests and retrieve the correct data accordingly.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method may include receiving, at a memory system having a block modification characteristic, a write request for a data structure arranged in the memory, storing, based on the write request, data in the data structure, receiving, at the memory system, a read request for the data structure, reading, based on the read request, the data from the data structure, and indicating, based on the reading, the data for modification. The method may further include receiving, at the memory system, a second write request for the data structure, wherein the first write request and the second write request have an order, storing, based on the second write request, second data in the data structure, and determining, based on the read request, based on the order, the first data, wherein the reading may be further based on the determining.
