Configuration of Memory Services of a Data Storage Device to a Host System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176735 titled 'Configuration of Memory Services of a Data Storage Device to a Host System

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where a memory sub-system can allocate memory resources to provide storage services and memory services to a host system, based on requests received over a connection.

  • The memory sub-system can allocate memory resources to provide storage services and memory services to the host system.
  • The memory sub-system can update configuration data and provide memory services based on parameters specified in the request.
  • Requests can be implemented in the protocol for storage access or memory access, using commands like store instruction or write command.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Cloud computing systems
  • Data centers
  • High-performance computing environments

Problems Solved

  • Efficient allocation of memory resources
  • Improved data storage and retrieval processes
  • Enhanced performance of host systems

Benefits

  • Optimal utilization of memory resources
  • Faster data access and processing
  • Scalability for varying workload demands

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized Memory Allocation System for Enhanced Performance

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be memory management systems in computer architectures that allocate memory resources based on specific requests.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle concurrent requests for memory services?

The patent application does not specify how the system manages multiple requests for memory services simultaneously.

What security measures are in place to protect the memory resources allocated to the host system?

The patent application does not detail the security protocols or mechanisms implemented to safeguard the memory resources provided by the memory sub-system.


Original Abstract Submitted

a host system connected to a memory sub-system via a connection to configure memory services provided by the memory sub-system to the host system over the connection. the memory sub-system can allocate a portion of its memory resources to provide storage services to the host system, and allocate another portion of its memory resources to provide memory services to the host system. in response to a request from the host system over the connection, the memory sub-system can update configuration data of the memory services and provide the memory services according to the parameters specified by the request. the request can be implemented in the protocol over the connection for storage access, or in the protocol over the connection for memory access. the request can be implemented via a store instruction, a write command, or another command having another command identifier.
