MEMORY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18045948 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for operating a memory system that includes a memory controller and non-volatile memory. The method involves receiving temperature-dependent performance level information from an external host, setting the initial performance level of the memory system, operating the memory controller and non-volatile memory at the initial performance level, detecting the internal temperature of the memory system, and changing the performance level based on the temperature and performance level information.
- The memory system receives temperature-dependent performance level information from an external host.
- The memory system sets the initial performance level based on the received information.
- The memory controller and non-volatile memory operate at the initial performance level.
- The internal temperature of the memory system is detected.
- The performance level of the memory system is changed based on the detected temperature and performance level information.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various memory systems, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and computer memory modules.
- It can be used in data centers to optimize memory performance based on temperature variations.
- It can be implemented in mobile devices to enhance memory performance and efficiency.
Problems Solved
- Temperature can significantly affect the performance of memory systems.
- Without temperature-aware performance adjustment, memory systems may operate inefficiently or experience performance degradation.
- This technology solves the problem of suboptimal memory performance by dynamically adjusting the performance level based on temperature.
Benefits
- Improved memory system performance and efficiency by dynamically adjusting performance levels.
- Enhanced reliability and longevity of memory systems by optimizing performance based on temperature.
- Increased flexibility in adapting to temperature variations, ensuring consistent performance under different operating conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of operating a memory system, which includes a memory controller and at least one non-volatile memory, includes storing, in the memory system, temperature-dependent performance level information received from a host disposed external to the memory system, setting an operation performance level of the memory system to a first performance level, operating the memory controller and the at least one non-volatile memory device according to the first performance level, detecting an internal temperature of the memory system, and changing the operation performance level of the memory system to a second performance level that is different from the first performance level. The operation performance level is changed by the memory controller of the memory system, and changing the operation performance level is based on the temperature-dependent performance level information and the detected internal temperature.
