CONCURRENT COMMAND LIMITER FOR A MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126480 titled 'CONCURRENT COMMAND LIMITER FOR A MEMORY SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that can track and analyze commands received from a host system to determine if a certain type of command is being sent excessively. If the system detects that the threshold for the number of commands of that type has been reached, it will notify the host system to stop sending those commands.

  • Memory device and processing device coupled with memory device
  • Processing device receives command from host system
  • Determines weighted count of command based on type
  • Tracks first count of commands of that type
  • Determines if first count satisfies threshold criterion
  • Transmits notification to host system to refrain from sending commands of that type

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where monitoring and controlling the flow of commands or data packets is crucial, such as:

  • Network security
  • Data centers
  • Cloud computing

Problems Solved

This technology helps in preventing network congestion and overload by regulating the number of specific commands being sent, thus improving overall system performance and efficiency.

Benefits

The system provides a proactive approach to managing network traffic and can prevent potential system failures or slowdowns due to excessive commands of a certain type.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Network monitoring software
  • Data center management tools
  • Cloud service providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be a similar system used in network traffic analysis tools that monitor and control the flow of data packets to prevent network congestion.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system determine the threshold criterion for commands of a certain type?

The patent application does not specify the exact method used to set the threshold criterion for commands of a certain type.

What is the impact of the system on overall system performance?

The article does not provide information on the potential performance improvements that can be achieved by implementing this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system can include a memory device and a processing device coupled with the memory device. the processing device can receive, from a host system, a command of a type; determine a weighted count of the command according to the type of the command; track, based on the weighted count, a first count of commands of the type; determine whether the first count of commands of the type satisfies a threshold criterion for commands of the type; and responsive to determining that the first count of commands of the type satisfies the threshold criterion, transmit a notification to the host system to refrain from transmitting commands of the type.
