ELECTRONIC DEVICE ALLOCATING DATA IN PLURALITY OF CACHES USING CACHE ALLOCATION RANGE INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320152 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE ALLOCATING DATA IN PLURALITY OF CACHES USING CACHE ALLOCATION RANGE INFORMATION
The patent application describes an electronic device with a main memory and a hierarchy of caches that store data from the main memory. The device includes processing circuitry that can send memory requests to the caches and main memory, with each request containing cache allocation range information related to the desired data. The caches can decide whether to act on the memory request based on this information.
- The electronic device has a main memory and multiple caches connected in a hierarchical manner.
- The caches store a portion of the data from the main memory.
- Processing circuitry is responsible for sending memory requests to both the caches and main memory.
- Each memory request includes cache allocation range information for the desired data.
- The caches can determine whether to process the memory request based on the cache allocation range information.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in computer systems to improve memory access speeds. - It can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications such as gaming, video editing, and artificial intelligence.
Problems Solved: - Reducing latency in memory access. - Optimizing data retrieval processes. - Enhancing overall system performance.
Benefits: - Faster data access speeds. - Improved system efficiency. - Enhanced user experience in data-heavy applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Memory Performance in Electronic Devices" This technology can be utilized in smartphones, laptops, servers, and other computing devices to boost memory access speeds and overall system performance. It can cater to a wide range of industries, including gaming, data centers, and cloud computing services.
Questions about Electronic Device Memory Management: 1. How does the cache allocation range information impact memory request processing?
- The cache allocation range information helps the caches determine whether to act on a memory request based on the location of the desired data within the cache hierarchy.
2. What are the potential implications of improved memory access speeds in electronic devices?
- Enhanced memory access speeds can lead to faster application performance, reduced loading times, and overall improved user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device including a main memory, a plurality of caches that are hierarchically connected, the plurality of caches configured to store part of data stored in the main memory, and processing circuitry configured to transmit a memory request for desired data to the plurality of caches and the main memory, the memory request including cache allocation range information associated with the desired data, and each of the plurality of caches are configured to, determine whether to perform an operation corresponding to the memory request based on the cache allocation range information.
