MULTI-PORT MEMORY LINK EXPANDER TO SHARE DATA AMONG HOSTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250325 titled 'MULTI-PORT MEMORY LINK EXPANDER TO SHARE DATA AMONG HOSTS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a technology that collects memory information from a first host path to a memory expander using a BIOS. - The memory expander has multiple host paths and the memory information is transferred from the BIOS to the operating system (OS) through OS interface tables. - The OS then initializes the memory expander based on the memory information, which includes memory capabilities and configuration settings. - The technology aims to streamline the process of collecting and transferring memory information, and efficiently initialize memory expanders in a system.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that collects, by a BIOS (basic input output system), memory information from a first host path to a coherent device memory on a memory expander, wherein the memory expander includes a plurality of host paths, transfers the memory information from the BIOS to an OS (operating system) via one or more OS interface tables, and initializes, by the OS, the memory expander based on the memory information, wherein the memory information includes memory capabilities and configuration settings associated with the memory expander.
