APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR STORING AND ACCESSING MEMORY METADATA AND ERROR CORRECTION CODE DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18441830 titled 'APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR STORING AND ACCESSING MEMORY METADATA AND ERROR CORRECTION CODE DATA
The abstract describes a memory device where a column plane can store metadata associated with data of other column selects, and both the metadata and data can be provided to an error correction code circuit as a combined code word for error correction.
- Simplified Explanation:
- Memory device stores metadata with data for error correction.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Column planes store metadata for error correction. - Combined code word for error correction of both data and metadata.
- Potential Applications:
- Data storage systems. - Error correction in memory devices.
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient error correction in memory devices. - Enhanced data reliability.
- Benefits:
- Improved data integrity. - Enhanced error correction capabilities.
- Commercial Applications:
- Data centers. - Cloud storage providers.
- Prior Art:
- Research on error correction in memory devices.
- Frequently Updated Research:
- Ongoing studies on error correction techniques in memory devices.
Questions about memory device technology: 1. How does storing metadata with data improve error correction efficiency? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in data storage systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
A bank of a memory device may be divided into column planes. Each column plane may be associated with column selects. In some examples, a portion of a column plane associated with one column select may be used to store metadata associated with data of the remaining column selects. In some examples, both the metadata and the data may be provided to an error correction code circuit as a combined code word that provides error correction for both the data and the metadata.
