SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HETEROGENEOUS MEMORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18304267 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HETEROGENEOUS MEMORY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for managing memory in a heterogeneous environment.

  • The method involves receiving memory requests from different applications.
  • The system provides separate memory allocations to each application based on their specific requirements.
  • The memory allocations are provided from different groups of memory, each with different attributes.
  • The requirements of each application are different, leading to the use of different memory groups.
  • This approach allows for efficient utilization of memory resources in a heterogeneous system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system and method for heterogeneous memory. In some embodiments, the method includes: receiving, from a first application, a first request for memory; providing a first allocation of memory to the first application; receiving, from a second application, a second request for memory; and providing a second allocation of memory to the second application, the providing of the first allocation including providing, based on a first requirement, of the first application, the first allocation from a first group of memory; the providing of the second allocation including providing, based on a second requirement, of the second application, the second allocation from a second group of memory; the second group of memory having an attribute differing from a corresponding attribute of the first group of memory; and the first requirement being different from the second requirement.
