ADJUSTING MEMORY POWER CONSUMPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055566 titled 'ADJUSTING MEMORY POWER CONSUMPTION

Simplified Explanation

The memory system described in the patent application monitors the bit error rate in data read from a memory and adjusts its operation to decrease power consumption while maintaining an acceptable memory error condition.

  • The memory system monitors the bit error rate in data read from the memory.
  • It determines if the monitored bit error rate satisfies an acceptable memory error condition.
  • If the error rate is acceptable, the memory system adjusts its operation to decrease power consumption.
  • The adjusted operation results in a new bit error rate that still satisfies the acceptable memory error condition.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in various memory systems, such as computer RAM, to optimize power consumption while ensuring data integrity.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of balancing power consumption and data integrity in memory systems, ensuring efficient operation without compromising reliability.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved energy efficiency in memory systems, extended device battery life, and enhanced overall system performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include mobile devices, servers, data centers, and any other systems that rely on memory for data storage and processing.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be memory systems that monitor bit error rates but do not dynamically adjust operation based on error conditions to optimize power consumption.

=== What are the specific methods used to monitor the bit error rate in the memory system? The specific methods used to monitor the bit error rate in the memory system are not detailed in the abstract. Further information on the monitoring techniques employed would provide a clearer understanding of the technology.

=== How does the memory system adjust its operation to decrease power consumption while maintaining an acceptable memory error condition? The abstract mentions that the memory system adjusts its operation to decrease power consumption, but it does not specify the exact mechanisms or strategies used for this adjustment. More information on the specific techniques employed would be beneficial to understand the innovation better.


Original Abstract Submitted

A memory system may monitor a bit error rate in data read from a memory in the memory system. The memory system may determine that the monitored bit error rate satisfies an acceptable memory error condition. The memory system may adjust operation of the memory system to decrease the power consumption of the memory system, wherein the adjusted operation results in a new bit error rate monitored from data read from the memory that satisfies the acceptable memory error condition.
