==SHARED MEMORY SNAPSHOTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17895918 titled 'SHARED MEMORY SNAPSHOTS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system that includes a memory device and a processing device to store data objects and manage memory allocation efficiently.

* The system receives data objects from a host application and assigns object identifiers to physical address ranges.
* It associates object identifiers with snapshot identifiers to define snapshots and maps physical address ranges to corresponding virtual address ranges of another host application.
* When a write request is received, the system records changes made to the data object in a change log.
* When a read request is received, the system retrieves the requested part of the data object from the change log entry.

### Potential Applications
* Data storage systems
* Virtual memory management systems
* Snapshot-based backup systems

### Problems Solved
* Efficient memory allocation and management
* Data object versioning and tracking changes
* Seamless integration with multiple host applications

### Benefits
* Improved data integrity and reliability
* Simplified data object management
* Enhanced system performance and scalability


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system can include a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including receiving, from a first host application, a data object to store on the memory device and associating an object identifier with physical address ranges. The operations can further include associating the object identifier with a snapshot identifier to define a snapshot and mapping the physical address ranges to corresponding virtual address ranges of a second host application. The operations can also include responsive to receiving, from the first host application, a request to write to the data object recording, in a change log, an entry reflecting a change made to the data object, and responsive to receiving, from the first host application, a request to read a part of the data object, retrieving the part from the entry of the change log.
