Identification of Available Memory of a Data Storage Device Attachable as a Memory Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18494339 titled 'Identification of Available Memory of a Data Storage Device Attachable as a Memory Device

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that allows a host system to query the memory sub-system to determine its memory attachment capabilities. The memory sub-system can allocate memory resources to provide storage services and memory services to the host system based on the query response. The host system can configure the memory services of the memory sub-system accordingly.

  • Memory sub-system can allocate memory resources for storage and memory services.
  • Host system can query memory sub-system for memory attachment capabilities.
  • Memory sub-system responds with data indicating its capabilities.
  • Host system can configure memory services based on the response.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as data storage, cloud computing, and high-performance computing.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently allocating memory resources for storage and memory services based on the capabilities of the memory sub-system.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include optimized memory resource allocation, improved performance, and flexibility in configuring memory services.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of high-performance storage solutions for data centers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be systems that allow for dynamic memory allocation based on system requirements.

=== What are the specific technical details of the memory attachment capabilities that can be queried from the memory sub-system? The specific technical details of the memory attachment capabilities that can be queried from the memory sub-system include the amount of memory resources available for storage and memory services, the speed and latency of memory access, and any specific features or functionalities offered by the memory sub-system.

=== How does the host system interpret and utilize the data received from the memory sub-system in configuring memory services? The host system interprets the data received from the memory sub-system to understand the memory attachment capabilities and then configures the memory services accordingly. This may involve allocating specific memory resources for storage or memory services, adjusting memory access speeds, or enabling certain features based on the capabilities of the memory sub-system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A host system connected to a memory sub-system via a connection to query memory attachment capabilities of the memory sub-system in providing memory services over the connection. The memory sub-system can allocate a portion of its memory resources to provide storage services to the host system, and allocate another portion of its memory resources to provide memory services to the host system. In response to the query, the memory sub-system can provide a response containing data indicative of memory attachment capabilities of the memory sub-system. The host system can configure the memory services of the memory sub-system, such as a solid-state drive, based on the data received as a response to the query. The query and response can be implemented in the protocol over the connection for storage access, or in the protocol over the connection for memory access.
