OPTIMIZING DATA RELIABILITY USING ERASE RETENTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514926 titled 'OPTIMIZING DATA RELIABILITY USING ERASE RETENTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method, system, and apparatus for managing memory by moving invalid portions to a garbage pool and then erasing them. It also involves moving erased portions from the garbage pool to a free pool for reuse.
- Memory management system for moving invalid memory portions to a garbage pool.
- Erasing invalid memory portions in response to determining their invalidity.
- Receiving a request to move erased memory portions from the garbage pool to a free pool.
- Free pool includes a queue of erased memory portions for reuse.
- Moving erased memory portions from the garbage pool to the free pool.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as computer systems, data storage, and memory management software.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient memory management by removing invalid memory portions. 2. Reusing erased memory portions to fulfill subsequent memory requests.
Benefits
1. Improved memory utilization and performance. 2. Reduced memory fragmentation. 3. Enhanced system reliability.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Memory Management System for Efficient Resource Utilization" could be a suitable title for this section.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing memory management systems that involve moving invalid memory portions to a garbage pool and reusing erased memory portions, but further research is needed to identify specific examples.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact overall system performance?
The article does not provide specific details on the performance implications of this memory management system.
The potential security implications of transferring memory portions between pools are not addressed in the article.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and apparatuses include moving a portion of memory to a garbage pool in response to determining that the portion of memory is invalid. The portion of memory is erased in response to determining that the portion of memory is invalid. A request to move an additional portion of memory to a free pool from the garbage pool is received. A free pool includes a queue including erased portions of memory, which serve as next portions of memory to fulfill subsequent cursor requests. The erased portion of memory is moved from the garbage pool to the free pool.
