This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240095195 titled 'Artificial Reality System Having Multi-Bank, Multi-Port Distributed Shared Memory
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system utilizing a multi-bank, multi-port shared memory system that can be part of a system on a chip, particularly useful in an artificial reality system. The shared memory system allows distributed or varied latency for memory banks and components within the system, enabling concurrent, common, and shared access to memory without requiring full locking or arbitration.

Unanswered Questions
How does this system handle memory conflicts?
The system likely employs a mechanism for resolving conflicts, such as prioritizing access based on certain criteria or implementing a queuing system.
It is unclear from the abstract how scalable the system is in terms of adding more memory banks or components. Further details would be needed to assess its scalability potential.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure describes various examples of a system which uses a multi-bank, multi-port shared memory system that may be implemented as part of a system on a chip. the shared memory system may have particular applicability in the context of an artificial reality system, and may be designed to have distributed or varied latency for one or more memory banks and/or one or more components or subsystems within the system on a chip. the described shared memory system may be logically a single entity, but physically may have multiple memory banks, each accessible by any of a number of components or subsystems. in some examples, the memory system may enable concurrent, common, and/or shared access to memory without requiring, in some situations, full locking or arbitration.
