MEMORY SUB-SYSTEM ADDRESSING FOR DATA AND ADDITIONAL DATA PORTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17831436 titled 'MEMORY SUB-SYSTEM ADDRESSING FOR DATA AND ADDITIONAL DATA PORTIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system and method for addressing data and additional data portions in a memory device. It involves converting a command received in a non-deterministic memory interface protocol to a standardized deterministic memory interface protocol, and accessing the memory cells using the converted address.
- The method involves accessing data written to a memory device in response to a compute express link (CXL) protocol compliant command.
- The address associated with the command is converted to a DRAM accessible command according to a standardized deterministic memory interface protocol.
- A page of memory cells is accessed using the converted address, where the data and additional data portions are written.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various computing systems that utilize memory devices, such as servers, data centers, and high-performance computing systems.
- It can improve the efficiency and performance of memory access in these systems, enabling faster data processing and improved overall system performance.
Problems Solved
- Non-deterministic memory interface protocols can pose challenges in accessing and managing data in memory devices.
- Converting the commands to a standardized deterministic memory interface protocol solves the problem of compatibility and allows for efficient access to memory cells.
Benefits
- The conversion of commands allows for seamless integration of memory devices with different interface protocols.
- It enables faster and more efficient memory access, improving overall system performance.
- The technology provides a standardized approach to addressing data and additional data portions, simplifying memory management in computing systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to addressing for data and additional data portions are described herein. In an example method, addressing for data and additional data portions can include accessing data written to a memory device in response to receipt of a first command configured according to a nondeterministic memory interface protocol. The first command can be a compute express link (CXL) protocol compliant command. The example method can further include converting an address associated with the first command to a second command configured according to a standardized deterministic memory interface protocol. The second command can be a DRAM accessible command. The example method can further include accessing a page of memory cells of the memory device in which the data is written, and in which additional data portions associated with the data are written using the converted address associated with the first command.
