==CACHE BYPASS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18215117 titled 'CACHE BYPASS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a memory controller for cache bypass in computer systems. The memory controller is connected to a memory device and includes a cache with a cache sequence controller. The controller determines the quantity of a specific type of cache look-up results and if it meets a bypass threshold, it performs a bypass memory operation to directly access the memory device.

* The patent application describes a memory controller for cache bypass in computer systems.
* The memory controller is connected to a memory device.
* The memory controller includes a cache with a cache sequence controller.
* The cache sequence controller determines the quantity of a specific type of cache look-up results.
* If the determined quantity meets a bypass threshold, the memory controller performs a bypass memory operation.
* The bypass memory operation allows direct access to the memory device, bypassing the cache.

==Potential Applications==
This technology can be applied in various computer systems and devices that utilize memory controllers and caches. Some potential applications include:

* High-performance computing systems
* Data centers and server farms
* Gaming consoles and graphics processing units (GPUs)
* Mobile devices and smartphones
* Embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) devices

==Problems Solved==
The memory controller for cache bypass solves several problems in computer systems, including:

* Cache congestion: By bypassing the cache when the quantity of a specific type of cache look-up results exceeds a threshold, the memory controller prevents cache congestion and improves overall system performance.
* Latency reduction: Directly accessing the memory device through bypass memory operations reduces the latency introduced by cache look-up operations, resulting in faster data retrieval and processing.
* Improved memory utilization: By dynamically determining when to bypass the cache, the memory controller optimizes memory utilization and ensures efficient use of available resources.

==Benefits==
The use of a memory controller for cache bypass offers several benefits to computer systems and devices:

* Enhanced performance: By bypassing the cache when necessary, the memory controller improves system performance by reducing cache congestion and latency.
* Improved responsiveness: Directly accessing the memory device through bypass memory operations reduces data retrieval and processing times, resulting in improved system responsiveness.
* Efficient resource utilization: The dynamic determination of cache bypass helps optimize memory utilization, ensuring efficient use of available resources and maximizing system efficiency.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to a memory controller for cache bypass are described. An example memory controller can be coupled to a memory device. The example memory controller can include a cache including a cache sequence controller configured to determine a quantity of a given type of result of cache look-up operations, determine the quantity satisfies a bypass threshold, and cause performance of a bypass memory operation that bypasses the cache and accesses the memory device.
