Partial Speed Changes To Improve In-Order Transfer - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18383813 titled 'Partial Speed Changes To Improve In-Order Transfer

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to improving in-order data transfer through partial speed changes based on ECC decoder levels in memory devices.

  • Memory devices will have at least one FMU with a syndrome weight (SW).
  • FMUs will be assigned based on the SW rate.
  • The ECC decoder level assigned to an FMU will be determined at the time the command is read.
  • The determination will be checked based on system environment parameters to maintain performance or reduce power consumption.
  • This arrangement allows for a more flexible system design that can adapt to the current system status.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various data storage systems where in-order data transfer is crucial, such as servers, networking equipment, and high-performance computing systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of optimizing data transfer efficiency and error correction in memory devices, leading to improved system performance and reliability.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced data transfer speed, improved error correction capabilities, optimized system performance, and potential power consumption reduction.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include data centers, cloud computing providers, telecommunications companies, and any other industry relying on high-speed and reliable data storage systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art in this field is the use of ECC decoders based on a first available decoder basis, which may not be as efficient or flexible as the proposed ECC decoder level-based approach.

=== What are the specific system environment parameters used to determine the ECC decoder level assignment? The specific system environment parameters used to determine the ECC decoder level assignment are not specified in the abstract. Further details on these parameters would provide a clearer understanding of how the system adapts to different conditions.

=== How does assigning FMUs based on the SW rate improve data transfer efficiency? The abstract mentions assigning FMUs based on the SW rate, but it does not delve into the specific mechanisms or algorithms used for this assignment. Exploring this aspect further would shed light on the technical details of how data transfer efficiency is enhanced through this method.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure generally relates partial speed changes to improve in-order data transfer. Rather than determining an ECC decoder on a first available decoder basis, the ECC decoder may be based on the ECC decoder level. A memory device will have at least one FMU that has a syndrome weight (SW). The disclosure proposes assigning FMU's based on the SW rate. At the time the command is read, the data storage device determines which level of decoder will be assigned to the FMU. The determination will then be checked according to different system environment parameters to maintain performance or reduce power consumption. The arrangement allows a more flexible system design that can adapt according to the current system status.
