PERFORMING MEMORY ACCESS OPERATIONS WITH A LOGICAL-TO-PHYSICAL MAPPING TABLE WITH REDUCED SIZE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240193096 titled 'PERFORMING MEMORY ACCESS OPERATIONS WITH A LOGICAL-TO-PHYSICAL MAPPING TABLE WITH REDUCED SIZE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a data structure that maps logical addresses to physical addresses in memory, using tables stored in volatile memory. Each entry in the logical-to-physical (L2P) table contains a block number and a page table index pointing to the non-volatile memory. Multiple physical-to-logical (P2L) data structures, each corresponding to a portion of the L2P table, are also stored in volatile memory.
- The data structure maps logical addresses to physical addresses in memory.
- L2P table entries contain block numbers and page table indexes.
- P2L data structures correspond to portions of the L2P table.
Key Features and Innovation
- Efficient mapping of logical addresses to physical addresses.
- Utilization of both L2P and P2L data structures for address translation.
- Storage of tables in volatile memory for quick access.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in:
- File systems
