SELECTIVE DATA MAP UNIT ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17822606 titled 'SELECTIVE DATA MAP UNIT ACCESS
Simplified Explanation
Implementations described herein relate to selective data map unit access. A memory device may receive a request from a host device to access a resource associated with a data map unit. The memory device may identify whether the data map unit is in a locked state or an unlocked state. The data map unit may be in the locked state when another host device currently has exclusive access to the resource or may be in the unlocked state when no other host device currently has exclusive access to the resource. The memory device may selectively grant the host device exclusive access to the resource based on identifying whether the data map unit is in the locked state or the unlocked state.
- Memory device receives request from host device to access resource
- Data map unit can be in locked or unlocked state
- Locked state when another host device has exclusive access, unlocked state when no exclusive access
- Memory device selectively grants host device exclusive access based on data map unit state
Potential Applications
- Data storage systems
- Cloud computing environments
- Network attached storage devices
Problems Solved
- Efficient resource access control
- Preventing conflicts in accessing shared resources
Benefits
- Improved data security
- Enhanced resource management
- Optimal utilization of resources
