MEMORY MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302958 titled 'MEMORY MANAGEMENT
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for storing managed units (MUs) of data on a memory device using a slice-based layout. Each slice can contain multiple stripes, with each stripe having partitions and MUs of data. Some stripes have more partitions and MUs, while others have fewer.
- The innovation involves organizing data storage on a memory device using a slice-based layout with varying numbers of partitions and MUs in each stripe.
- This method allows for efficient storage and retrieval of data by optimizing the distribution of partitions and MUs across different stripes.
- By adjusting the quantity of partitions and MUs in each stripe, this approach can improve data access speed and overall performance of the memory device.
- The technology offers a flexible and scalable solution for managing data on memory devices, catering to different storage requirements and access patterns.
- Implementing this approach can enhance the reliability and durability of the memory device by distributing data effectively across the storage space.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various storage systems, including solid-state drives, servers, and data centers, to optimize data organization and access.
Problems Solved: - Inefficient data storage and retrieval on memory devices. - Limited scalability and flexibility in managing data on storage systems. - Suboptimal performance and reliability of memory devices due to inefficient data distribution.
Benefits: - Improved data access speed and performance. - Enhanced scalability and flexibility in managing data storage. - Increased reliability and durability of memory devices. - Optimized utilization of storage space for efficient data organization.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be valuable for companies in the data storage and technology industries, offering enhanced performance and reliability for storage solutions. It can be utilized in various commercial applications, including cloud storage services, enterprise storage systems, and high-performance computing environments.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this method of organizing data on memory devices compare to traditional storage layouts? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale storage systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
managed units (mus) of data can be stored on a memory device according to a slice-based layout. a slice of the slice-based layout can include a plurality of stripes, each of the stripes including respective partitions and respective mus of data. a subset of the stripes each include a quantity of partitions and a first quantity of mus of data. another subset of the stripes each include a lesser quantity of partitions and a lesser quantity of mus of data.
