MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18604946 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system described in the patent application includes a controller that manages the connection between two memory regions and a host device. The controller also handles the selection of memory regions based on interleave settings and wear levels.
- The controller controls the coupling between the first memory region, the second memory region, and the host device.
- It generates interleave setting information for the first memory region and selects the appropriate memory region based on this information when an access request is received from the host device.
- The controller updates the interleave setting information based on the wear accumulated in the first memory region, switching it to the second memory region.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in high-performance computing systems where efficient memory management is crucial. - It may also find applications in data centers and servers where optimizing memory access is essential for overall system performance.
Problems Solved: - Efficient memory management and wear leveling in memory systems. - Optimizing memory access for improved system performance.
Benefits: - Enhanced memory system performance. - Extended lifespan of memory regions. - Improved overall system efficiency.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Memory Management System for High-Performance Computing" This technology could be marketed to companies developing high-performance computing systems, data centers, and servers looking to optimize memory access and improve system performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller determine which memory region to select based on the interleave setting information? 2. What are the potential implications of wear leveling in memory systems for long-term system performance and reliability?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in memory management systems, wear leveling technologies, and high-performance computing applications to ensure the technology remains competitive and relevant in the market.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a first memory region, a second memory region, and a controller. The controller is configured to control coupling between the first memory region and the second memory region at one end and a host device at another, generate first interleave setting information corresponding to the first memory region, select the first memory region based on the first interleave setting information when an access request is received from the host device, and update the first interleave setting information to second interleave setting information corresponding to the second memory region and not corresponding to the first memory region based on an amount of accumulated wear in the first memory region.
