COMPUTER SYSTEM INCLUDING A MAIN MEMORY DEVICE WITH HETEROGENEOUS MEMORIES AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311896 titled 'COMPUTER SYSTEM INCLUDING A MAIN MEMORY DEVICE WITH HETEROGENEOUS MEMORIES AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer system with a cache memory that can manage data caching from different memory devices based on cache miss ratio and cache occupancy ratio.
- Cache memory system with cache controller
- Manages data caching from different memory devices
- Determines cache entry eviction based on cache miss ratio and cache occupancy ratio
- Improves efficiency of data retrieval and storage
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various computing systems where efficient data caching is crucial, such as servers, databases, and high-performance computing environments.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of data caching from multiple memory devices 2. Optimization of cache memory usage based on cache miss and occupancy ratios
Benefits
1. Improved system performance by reducing cache misses 2. Enhanced data retrieval speed 3. Optimal utilization of cache memory resources
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing cache memory management in servers and databases Improving performance in high-performance computing environments
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing cache memory management techniques that focus on cache hit rates but do not consider cache occupancy ratios for eviction strategies.

Original Abstract Submitted
A computer system may include a processor; a first memory device; a second memory device; a cache memory including a plurality of cache entries and a cache controller. The cache controller is configured to manage a source indicating whether a caching data is provided from the first memory device or the second memory device, and determine a cache entry to be evicted from the cache entries based on a cache miss ratio of request data by the source which the request data is read when the request data of the processor do not exist in the cache memory and a cache occupancy ratio by the source.
