ADDRESS TRANSLATION METADATA COMPRESSION IN MEMORY DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240264743 titled 'ADDRESS TRANSLATION METADATA COMPRESSION IN MEMORY DEVICES

The example memory sub-system described in the abstract consists of a memory device and a processing device that work together to handle memory access requests efficiently.

The processing device receives a memory access request with a logical address and operation, then generates a truncated logical address using a predefined mathematical transformation.
It looks up an address translation table entry based on the truncated logical address to find the corresponding physical address for the memory access operation.
The processing device then performs the memory access operation using the physical address obtained from the address translation table entry.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in computer systems, servers, and other devices that require efficient memory access management. - It can be used in virtual memory systems to improve memory access speed and reduce overhead.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for fast and accurate memory access in complex computing systems. - Streamlines the process of translating logical addresses to physical addresses for memory operations.

Benefits: - Enhances memory access performance and efficiency. - Reduces latency and improves overall system responsiveness. - Simplifies memory management tasks for developers and system administrators.

Commercial Applications: Title: Efficient Memory Access Management Technology for Enhanced System Performance This technology can be utilized in data centers, cloud computing environments, and high-performance computing systems to optimize memory access operations and improve overall system performance.

Questions about Memory Access Management Technology: 1. How does the processing device generate a truncated logical address for memory access requests? The processing device applies a predefined mathematical transformation to the specified logical address to produce a truncated logical address.

2. What are the key benefits of using an address translation table in memory access operations? The address translation table helps in efficiently mapping logical addresses to physical addresses, reducing access time and improving system performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

an example memory sub-system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device. the processing device is configured to receive a memory access request specifying a logical address of a data item and a memory access operation to be performed with respect to the data item; produce a truncated logical address by applying a predefined mathematical transformation to the specified logical address; identifying, in an address translation table, an address translation table entry identified by the truncated logical address; and perform the memory access operation using a physical address specified by the address translation table entry.
