APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR MEMORY ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18343929 titled 'APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR MEMORY ALIGNMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes an apparatus and method for memory alignment. The method involves aligning two byte-based memory elements in such a way that the padding bits of both elements are adjacent to each other, and the data bits of both elements are adjacent to each other.

  • The method involves performing an alignment operation on byte-based memory elements.
  • The alignment ensures that the padding bits of the memory elements are logically adjacent.
  • The alignment also ensures that the data bits of the memory elements are logically adjacent.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in computer systems and processors that require efficient memory management.
  • It can be applied in various industries such as gaming, data centers, and artificial intelligence where memory alignment is crucial for optimal performance.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Memory alignment is important for efficient memory access and data processing.
  • This technology solves the problem of inefficient memory alignment by providing a method to align memory elements in a logical and efficient manner.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved memory access and data processing efficiency.
  • Enhanced performance of computer systems and processors.
  • Reduction in memory access latency.
  • Increased overall system performance and responsiveness.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to memory alignment. An example method comprises performing an alignment operation on a first byte-based memory element and a second byte-based memory element such that a padding bit of the first byte-based memory element is logically adjacent to a padding bit of the second byte-based memory element and a data bit of the first byte-based memory element is logically adjacent to a data bit of the second byte-based memory element.
