==INSTRUCTION SET ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT FOR AT-SPEED NEAR-MEMORY ATOMIC OPERATIONS IN A NON-CACHED DISTRIBUTED MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119015 titled 'INSTRUCTION SET ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT FOR AT-SPEED NEAR-MEMORY ATOMIC OPERATIONS IN A NON-CACHED DISTRIBUTED MEMORY SYSTEM

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes technology that detects when multiple atomic instructions target the same memory address but different bit positions in a mask. It then generates a combined read-lock request for these instructions and sends it to a lock buffer associated with the memory device.

* Detects multiple atomic instructions targeting the same memory address but different bit positions in a mask
* Generates a combined read-lock request for these instructions
* Sends the combined read-lock request to a lock buffer coupled to the memory device

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in high-performance computing systems, multi-threaded applications, and memory management systems.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps prevent data corruption and race conditions that can occur when multiple atomic instructions access the same memory address simultaneously.

== Benefits ==
- Improved data integrity
- Enhanced system performance
- Reduced likelihood of memory access conflicts

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Memory Locking Technology for Enhanced Data Integrity and Performance"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to memory locking mechanisms in multi-threaded systems or memory management techniques.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does this technology impact overall system efficiency? ===
This technology can improve system efficiency by reducing conflicts and ensuring data integrity.

=== Are there any potential security implications of using this technology? ===
There may be security implications related to memory access and locking mechanisms that need to be considered when implementing this technology.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that detects a condition in which a plurality of atomic instructions target a common address and different bit positions in a mask, generates a combined read-lock request for the plurality of atomic instructions in response to the condition, and sends the combined read-lock request to a lock buffer coupled to a memory device associated with the common address.
