LATENCY REDUCTION USING STREAM CACHE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18508141 titled 'LATENCY REDUCTION USING STREAM CACHE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for reducing latency in a memory sub-system by prefetching data blocks and preloading them into host memory of a host system.

  • The system includes a memory device and a processing device.
  • The processing device receives a request from the host system to access a data block in the memory device.
  • It determines if the data block is related to a set of one or more data blocks stored in the memory device.
  • The set of data blocks is then stored in a buffer in the host memory controlled by the memory sub-system.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • High-performance computing systems
  • Data centers
  • Cloud computing environments

Problems Solved

This technology solves the following problems:

  • Reducing latency in memory access
  • Improproving overall system performance

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Faster data access
  • Improved system efficiency
  • Enhanced user experience

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Memory Sub-System for Reduced Latency

Unanswered Questions

Original Abstract Submitted

A system and method for a memory sub-system to reduce latency by prefetching data blocks and preloading them into host memory of a host system. An example system including a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including: receiving a request of a host system to access a data block in the memory device; determining the data block stored in a first buffer in host memory is related to a set of one or more data blocks stored at the memory device; and storing the set of one or more data blocks in a second buffer in the host memory, wherein the first buffer is controlled by the host system and the second buffer is controlled by a memory sub-system.
