PROTECTION AGAINST INVALID MEMORY COMMANDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17834547 titled 'PROTECTION AGAINST INVALID MEMORY COMMANDS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for protecting against invalid memory commands. Here are the key points:

  • The memory device receives a pilot command from a host device, which indicates a sequence of upcoming memory commands.
  • After receiving the pilot command, the memory device receives a memory command from the host device.
  • The memory device determines if the memory command is invalid based on the indication of the sequence of upcoming memory commands.
  • If the memory command is determined to be invalid, the memory device transmits a message to the host device indicating the invalidity of the memory command.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in various memory devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs), random-access memory (RAM), and flash memory.
  • It can be implemented in computer systems, servers, and other devices that use memory commands.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Invalid memory commands can cause data corruption, system crashes, and other issues. This technology helps prevent such problems by identifying and rejecting invalid memory commands.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved system reliability and stability by preventing the execution of invalid memory commands.
  • Protection against potential security vulnerabilities that may arise from executing invalid memory commands.
  • Enhanced performance by avoiding unnecessary processing of invalid memory commands.


Original Abstract Submitted

Implementations described herein relate to protection against invalid memory commands. In some implementations, a memory device may include one or more components that may receive, from a host device, a pilot command that includes an indication of a sequence of upcoming memory commands to be transmitted from the host device to the memory device, receive a memory command from the host device after receiving the pilot command, determine that the memory command is invalid based on the indication of the sequence of upcoming memory commands, and transmit, to the host device and based on determining that the memory command is invalid, a message indicating that the memory command is invalid. Numerous other implementations are described.
