LATENCY REDUCTION OF BOOT PROCEDURES FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176549 titled 'LATENCY REDUCTION OF BOOT PROCEDURES FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for reducing latency in boot procedures for memory systems. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A memory system receives a command to reset components during the boot procedure of a host system.
- An initialization process is initiated in the second phase of the boot procedure based on the value of a flag.
- After completing the initialization process, the flag is set to its original value.
- Parameters of the memory system are communicated to the host system, and a configuration operation is performed concurrently.

- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as data centers, cloud computing, and high-performance computing systems.
- Problems Solved
This innovation addresses the issue of latency in boot procedures for memory systems, improving overall system efficiency and performance.
- Benefits
- Reduced latency in boot procedures - Improved system efficiency - Enhanced performance of memory systems
- Potential Commercial Applications
"Latency Reduction Technology for Memory Systems" could find applications in server systems, supercomputers, and other high-performance computing environments.
- Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of pre-boot initialization processes in computer systems to reduce latency during system startup.

Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for latency reduction of boot procedures for memory systems are described. a memory system may receive a first command to perform a first reset of one or more components as part of a first phase of a boot procedure of a host system. the memory system may initiate an initialization process of a second phase of the boot procedure upon determining whether the value of a flag has been set from a first value to a second value. upon completing the initialization process, the flag may be set to the first value. parameters corresponding to the characteristics of the memory system may be communicated to the host system based on receiving a second command. the memory system may perform a configuration operation of a logical-to-physical mapping concurrently with communicating the parameters with the host system.
