MEMORY CONTROLLER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296114 titled 'MEMORY CONTROLLER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
The memory controller described in the patent application manages memory accesses and commands to optimize memory operation.
- The memory controller holds multiple memory accesses and generates command requests for the memory based on these accesses.
- It uses a second clock with a lower frequency to determine if commands can be issued according to set timing constraints.
- The controller selects one command to be issued to the memory based on the determinations made.
- The selected command is then output to the memory in synchronization with the first clock.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various computing systems that require efficient memory management. - It can be used in servers, data centers, and other high-performance computing environments.
Problems Solved: - Efficient memory access and command generation. - Optimization of memory operation based on timing constraints.
Benefits: - Improved memory performance and efficiency. - Enhanced overall system performance in computing environments.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Memory Controller for Enhanced Computing Performance" This technology can be utilized in servers, data centers, and high-performance computing systems to improve memory management and overall system efficiency, leading to better performance and productivity.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the memory controller optimize memory operation based on timing constraints? - The memory controller uses a second clock with a lower frequency to determine if commands can be issued according to set timing constraints, ensuring efficient memory operation.
2. What are the potential applications of this memory controller technology? - This technology can be applied in various computing systems that require efficient memory management, such as servers, data centers, and high-performance computing environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a memory controller comprises a holding unit that holds a plurality of memory accesses to a memory that operates with a first clock. the memory controller generates a plurality of command requests for causing the memory to operate based on the plurality of memory accesses; determines, in synchronization with a second clock having a lower frequency than the first clock, whether a plurality of commands corresponding to the plurality of command requests are issuable, based on a constraint on issuance timings that are respectively set for the plurality of commands; selects, in synchronization with the second clock, one command to be issued to the memory from among commands that have been determined by the determining unit to be issuable; and outputs the selected one command to the memory in synchronization with the first clock.
