METADATA REGISTERS FOR A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18047493 titled 'METADATA REGISTERS FOR A MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a method for handling data and metadata at a memory device, where data is stored in one portion of the memory array and metadata is stored in another portion.
- Memory systems that support metadata
- Method involves receiving data and metadata from a host
- Storing data in one portion of the memory array and metadata in another portion
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as data storage, cloud computing, and information management systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and storing both data and metadata in memory systems, improving overall system performance and reliability.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced data organization, faster access to metadata, improved system efficiency, and better overall performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of high-speed data storage solutions for enterprise-level systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be memory systems that store data and metadata separately but do not provide a method for efficiently handling both types of information within the memory device.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does this technology compare to existing memory systems that support metadata? 2. What are the specific industries or use cases where this technology would be most beneficial?
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for memory systems that support metadata. In a first aspect, a method of handling data and metadata at a memory device includes receiving data from the host via the at least one data connection into the first plurality of registers; receiving metadata from the host via the at least one non-data connection into the second plurality of registers; storing the data in the first portion of the memory array; and storing the metadata in the second portion of the memory array. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
