Read Data Path - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17823469 titled 'Read Data Path
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a read data path for a memory system that includes logic to perform reliability checks on data using associated metadata and initiate a data recovery process if errors are detected.
- Memory system includes logic for reliability checks on data and metadata
- Data recovery process initiated if errors are detected
- Parallel processing of read requests to increase throughput or reduce latency
- Utilizes techniques related to RAID technology for data recovery
Potential Applications
- Data storage systems
- Computer memory systems
- Network servers
Problems Solved
- Reducing likelihood of returning corrupted data to requestors
- Improving data reliability and integrity
- Enhancing system performance and efficiency
Benefits
- Increased data reliability
- Improved system performance
- Reduced likelihood of data corruption
- Enhanced data recovery capabilities
Original Abstract Submitted
Described apparatuses and methods relate to a read data path for a memory system. The memory system may include logic that receives data and associated metadata from a memory. The logic may perform a reliability check on the data using the associated metadata to determine if the data has an error. If the data is determined not to include an error, the data may be transmitted to a requestor. If the data is determined to include an error, however, a data recovery process may be initiated to recover the data. This may reduce a likelihood the memory system returns corrupted data to a requestor. The memory system may process a different read request at least partially in parallel with the data recovery process to increase throughput or reduce latency. In some cases, the data recovery process may involve one or more techniques related to redundant array of disks (RAID) technology.
