MEMORY DEVICE, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17854163 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a memory device that includes a history table and communicates with a storage controller. The device operates by receiving a request indicating a core operation on a memory block, checking the history data of the memory block in a history table, and performing the core operation if the history data meet certain criteria. After performing the core operation, the history data of the memory block are updated in the history table.

• The memory device includes a history table and communicates with a storage controller.
• The device receives a request indicating a core operation on a memory block.
• The history data of the memory block are checked in a history table.
• If the history data have a certain value, the core operation is performed on the memory block.
• After performing the core operation, the history data of the memory block are updated in the history table.

Potential Applications

• This memory device can be used in various computing systems that require efficient memory operations.
• It can be applied in data centers, servers, and high-performance computing systems to enhance memory performance.

Problems Solved

• The memory device solves the problem of inefficient memory operations by utilizing a history table to determine whether a core operation needs to be performed on a memory block.
• It helps in reducing unnecessary core operations on memory blocks, thereby improving overall memory performance.

Benefits

• The memory device improves memory performance by selectively performing core operations based on the history data of memory blocks.
• It reduces unnecessary core operations, leading to energy efficiency and improved system performance.
• The use of a history table allows for quick and efficient decision-making on whether to perform a core operation on a memory block.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a memory device which includes a history table and communicates with a storage controller. A method of operating the memory device includes receiving a first request indicating a first core operation of a first memory block from the storage controller, determining whether history data of the first memory block have a first value or a second value, with reference to the history table, in response to the first request, when it is determined that the history data of the first memory block have the first value, performing the first core operation corresponding to a first type on the first memory block, and after performing the first core operation corresponding to the first type on the first memory block, updating the history data of the first memory block in the history table from the first value to the second value.
