SCALABILITY OF DATA CURSORS IN MEMORY SUBSYSTEMS WHILE REDUCING RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17852099 titled 'SCALABILITY OF DATA CURSORS IN MEMORY SUBSYSTEMS WHILE REDUCING RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a memory subsystem that transmits a parameter indicating the minimum size of a memory write command to a host system. The subsystem receives a write command from the host system, which is a multiple of the write granularity parameter and includes logical block addresses. The data from the write command is then written to a portion of non-volatile memory using a cursor.

  • The memory subsystem transmits a write granularity parameter to the host system.
  • The write command received from the host system must be a multiple of the write granularity parameter.
  • The write command includes logical block addresses identified by a pointer.
  • The data from the write command is written to a portion of non-volatile memory.
  • The writing process is performed using a first cursor.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various memory subsystems, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) or other non-volatile memory devices.
  • It can be used in systems that require efficient and optimized memory write operations.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of ensuring that write commands are aligned with the memory subsystem's write granularity parameter.
  • It addresses the issue of efficiently writing data to non-volatile memory using a cursor.

Benefits

  • By transmitting the write granularity parameter, the memory subsystem ensures that write commands are properly aligned, improving efficiency and performance.
  • The use of a cursor allows for efficient writing of data to non-volatile memory, reducing latency and improving overall system performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A memory subsystem transmits a write granularity parameter that indicates a minimum memory write size of a write command to a host system. A write command is received from the host system, the write command being a size of one or more multiples of the write granularity parameter and the write command identifying one or more logical block addresses using a pointer. Data from the write command is written to a portion of non-volatile memory of the memory subsystem using a first cursor.
