COMPUTING SYSTEM INCLUDING CXL SWITCH, MEMORY DEVICE AND STORAGE DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18131185 titled 'COMPUTING SYSTEM INCLUDING CXL SWITCH, MEMORY DEVICE AND STORAGE DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computing system that includes multiple storage devices, a memory device, and a compute express link (CXL) switch. The memory device stores map data of the storage devices, and the CXL switch facilitates communication between the storage devices and an external host. The storage devices are connected to the memory device through separate interfaces.

  • The computing system includes multiple storage devices, a memory device, and a CXL switch.
  • The memory device stores map data of the storage devices.
  • The CXL switch is responsible for managing communication between the storage devices and an external host.
  • The first storage device is connected to the memory device through a second interface.
  • The second storage device is connected to the memory device through a third interface.
  • The first interface, second interface, and third interface are physically separated from each other.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computing system includes a first storage device, a second storage device, a memory device, and a compute express link (CXL) switch. The memory device stores first map data of the first storage device and second map data of the second storage device. The CXL switch is connected with the first storage device, the second storage device, and an external host through a first interface, and arbitrates communications between the first storage device, the second storage device, and the external host. The first storage device is connected with the memory device through a second interface. The second storage device is connected with the memory device through a third interface. The first interface, the second interface, and the third interface are physically separated from each other.
