MEMORY SUB-SYSTEM COMMAND FENCING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18615760 titled 'MEMORY SUB-SYSTEM COMMAND FENCING
The method described in the abstract involves memory fencing in a memory sub-system to execute a first number of commands before a second number of commands in response to a memory fencing command.
- Memory fencing is used in memory components of a memory sub-system.
- The method involves receiving and executing a first number of commands and a second number of commands on the memory sub-system.
- A memory fencing command is associated with the first and second numbers of commands.
- At least one of the first number of commands is executed before at least one of the second number of commands in response to the memory fencing command.
- Data is moved from a first location to a second location in the memory sub-system for executing the first number of commands.
- Data is read from the second location and sent to a host system for executing the second number of commands.
Potential Applications: - This method can be applied in computer systems to optimize memory operations. - It can be used in high-performance computing environments to enhance memory access efficiency.
Problems Solved: - Efficient execution of memory commands in a specific order. - Enhancing overall system performance by prioritizing memory operations.
Benefits: - Improved memory access speed. - Enhanced system reliability and stability.
Commercial Applications: Title: Memory Fencing Method for Enhanced Memory Operations This technology can be utilized in data centers, cloud computing environments, and server systems to improve memory management and overall system performance.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior research on memory fencing techniques in computer systems and memory sub-systems to understand the evolution of this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly exploring new methods and algorithms to further optimize memory operations in computer systems. Stay updated on the latest advancements in memory management technologies.
Questions about Memory Fencing: 1. How does memory fencing improve memory access efficiency? Memory fencing ensures that certain memory commands are executed in a specific order, optimizing memory operations for improved performance.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of implementing memory fencing in a memory sub-system? While memory fencing can enhance memory access speed, it may introduce additional complexity to system architecture and require careful implementation to avoid performance bottlenecks.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes memory fencing in memory components of a memory sub-system and receiving a first number of commands and a second number of command for execution on a memory sub-system, receiving a memory fencing command associated with the first number of commands and the second number of commands, and executing at least one of the first number of commands before executing at least one of the second number of commands in response to receiving the memory fencing command. The method further includes executing the at least one of the first number of commands by moving data from a first location in the memory subsystem to a second location in the memory sub-system and executing the at least one of the second number of commands by reading data from the second location in the memory sub-system and sending the data to a host system.
