MEMORY MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18657466 titled 'MEMORY MANAGEMENT

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for storing managed units (MUs) of data on a memory device using a slice-based layout. Each slice consists of multiple stripes, with each stripe containing partitions and MUs of data. Some stripes have more partitions and MUs, while others have fewer.

  • Managed units (MUs) of data are stored on a memory device using a slice-based layout.
  • Each slice is made up of multiple stripes, with each stripe containing partitions and MUs of data.
  • Some stripes have a larger quantity of partitions and MUs, while others have a lesser quantity.

Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Memory devices - Information technology

Problems Solved: - Efficient data storage - Organized data management

Benefits: - Optimal use of memory space - Enhanced data organization

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Data Storage Solutions This technology can be used in various industries such as cloud computing, data centers, and IoT devices to improve data storage efficiency and organization.

Questions about Managed Units (MUs): 1. How does the slice-based layout improve data storage efficiency? The slice-based layout allows for better organization of data by dividing it into manageable units, optimizing storage space.

2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the field of information technology? This technology can be applied in various sectors such as cloud computing, data centers, and IoT devices to enhance data storage and management capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

Managed units (MUs) of data can be stored on a memory device according to a slice-based layout. A slice of the slice-based layout can include a plurality of stripes, each of the stripes including respective partitions and respective MUs of data. A subset of the stripes each include a quantity of partitions and a first quantity of MUs of data. Another subset of the stripes each include a lesser quantity of partitions and a lesser quantity of MUs of data.
