SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING DATA FROM MEMORY OR STORAGE AT A STORAGE NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18375449 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING DATA FROM MEMORY OR STORAGE AT A STORAGE NODE
The patent application describes an apparatus with a storage node that can communicate with two memory mediums and transfer data using a memory access scheme.
- The control circuit in the storage node can transmit location information for data stored in the first memory medium and operate a portion of it as a cache for the second memory medium.
- The control circuit can update the location information and transmit the updated version using the memory access scheme.
- The apparatus aims to efficiently manage data storage and retrieval between different memory mediums.
Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Cache management in computer systems - Memory access optimization in electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient data transfer between memory mediums - Improved cache performance - Streamlined memory access operations
Benefits: - Faster data retrieval - Enhanced system performance - Optimal use of memory resources
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Data Storage and Retrieval System for Improved Performance" This technology can be used in various industries such as cloud computing, data centers, and IoT devices to enhance data management and processing speed.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus optimize memory access between different memory mediums? 2. What are the key advantages of using a cache system in data storage and retrieval processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus may include a storage node including a first interface to communicate with a first memory medium, a second interface to communicate with a second memory medium, and at least one control circuit configured to transmit, from the storage node, location information for data stored in the first memory medium, and transfer, from the storage node, using a memory access scheme, the data. The at least one control circuit may be configured to operate at least a portion of the first memory medium as a cache for at least a portion of the second memory medium. The at least one control circuit may be configured to transmit the location information using the memory access scheme. The at least one control circuit may be configured to update the location information to generate updated location information, and perform a transmission, from the storage node, of the updated location information.
