SELECTIVE ACCESS FOR GROUPED MEMORY DIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18680550 titled 'SELECTIVE ACCESS FOR GROUPED MEMORY DIES
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for selective access for grouped memory dies in a memory device.
- Memory device configured with a select die access protocol for a group of memory dies sharing the same channel.
- Protocol enabled by commands from the host device, communicated to each memory die via the channel.
- Commands indicate which memory dies can enable a set of commands and which ones are disabled from performing a subset of commands.
- Disabled memory dies restricted from executing the subset of commands when select die access mode is enabled.
- Potential Applications:**
- Data centers - High-performance computing - Embedded systems
- Problems Solved:**
- Efficient management of memory dies in a group - Enhanced control over memory access - Improved performance and reliability
- Benefits:**
- Optimal utilization of memory resources - Increased system efficiency - Enhanced data processing capabilities
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: "Enhanced Memory Management System for Improved Performance" This technology can be utilized in data centers, supercomputers, and other high-performance computing systems to optimize memory access and enhance overall system efficiency. The market implications include improved data processing speeds, reduced latency, and enhanced reliability in memory-intensive applications.
- Questions about Memory Die Access:**
1. How does the select die access protocol improve memory management efficiency?
- The protocol allows for selective enabling and disabling of commands for specific memory dies, optimizing memory access and enhancing system performance.
2. What are the potential benefits of using a select die access protocol in memory devices?
- The benefits include improved resource utilization, enhanced control over memory access, and increased system efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for selective access for grouped memory dies are described. A memory device may be configured with a select die access protocol for a group of memory dies that share a same channel. The protocol may be enabled by one or more commands from the host device, which may be communicated to each of the memory dies of the group via the channel. The command(s) may indicate a first set of one or more memory dies of the group for which a set of commands may be enabled and may also indicate a second set of one or more memory dies of the group for which at least a subset of the set of commands is disabled. When the select die access mode is enabled, the disabled memory dies may be restricted from performing the subset of commands received via the channel.
