SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS WORDLINE MONITORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240112749 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS WORDLINE MONITORING

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed computing device includes a cache memory and at least one processor coupled to the cache memory. The processor is configured to copy data written to nonredundant wordlines of the cache memory to redundant wordlines, detect mismatches, and perform remediation actions.

  • Cache memory with redundant wordlines
  • Processor copying data to redundant wordlines
  • Mismatch detection and remediation actions

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Data storage systems
  • Error correction mechanisms

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Ensuring data integrity
  • Improving fault tolerance

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced reliability
  • Increased data protection

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application for this technology could be:

  • Data centers for critical data storage

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Error correction codes used in memory systems

Unanswered Questions

1. How does this technology impact the performance of the computing device? 2. Are there any limitations to the size of data that can be copied to redundant wordlines?


Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosed computing device includes a cache memory and at least one processor coupled to the cache memory. the at least one processor is configured to copy data written to one or more nonredundant wordlines of the cache memory to one or more redundant wordlines of the cache memory. the at least one processor is additionally configured to detect a mismatch between data read from the one or more nonredundant wordlines and data stored in the one or more redundant wordlines. the at least one processor is also configured to perform a remediation action in response to detecting the mismatch. various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
