INSTRUCTION SET ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT FOR AT-SPEED NEAR-MEMORY ATOMIC OPERATIONS IN A NON-CACHED DISTRIBUTED MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119015 titled 'INSTRUCTION SET ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT FOR AT-SPEED NEAR-MEMORY ATOMIC OPERATIONS IN A NON-CACHED DISTRIBUTED MEMORY SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes technology that detects when multiple atomic instructions target the same memory address but different bit positions in a mask. It then generates a combined read-lock request for these instructions and sends it to a lock buffer associated with the memory device.
- Detects multiple atomic instructions targeting the same memory address but different bit positions in a mask
- Generates a combined read-lock request for these instructions
- Sends the combined read-lock request to a lock buffer coupled to the memory device
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in high-performance computing systems, multi-threaded applications, and memory management systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps prevent data corruption and race conditions that can occur when multiple atomic instructions access the same memory address simultaneously.
Benefits
- Improved data integrity - Enhanced system performance - Reduced likelihood of memory access conflicts
Potential Commercial Applications
"Memory Locking Technology for Enhanced Data Integrity and Performance"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to memory locking mechanisms in multi-threaded systems or memory management techniques.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact overall system efficiency?
This technology can improve system efficiency by reducing conflicts and ensuring data integrity.
Are there any potential security implications of using this technology?
There may be security implications related to memory access and locking mechanisms that need to be considered when implementing this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that detects a condition in which a plurality of atomic instructions target a common address and different bit positions in a mask, generates a combined read-lock request for the plurality of atomic instructions in response to the condition, and sends the combined read-lock request to a lock buffer coupled to a memory device associated with the common address.
