PROPORTIONAL PERFORMANCE METRIC CONTROL FOR PHYSICAL FUNCTIONS OF A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202030 titled 'PROPORTIONAL PERFORMANCE METRIC CONTROL FOR PHYSICAL FUNCTIONS OF A MEMORY DEVICE
The abstract describes a memory device that allocates credit amounts for physical functions based on performance metrics over time windows.
- Memory device allocates first credit amounts for physical functions based on performance metrics for a set time window.
- Second credit amounts are allocated for the same physical functions based on virtual windows within the time window.
- Second credit amounts are determined by the first credit amounts and the duration of the time window.
- Operations for physical functions are performed during each virtual window based on the second credit amounts.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in memory devices to optimize performance based on specific metrics. - It may find applications in systems where resource allocation needs to be dynamically adjusted.
Problems Solved: - Efficient allocation of resources for physical functions based on performance metrics. - Optimization of operations based on virtual windows within a time window.
Benefits: - Improved performance and resource utilization in memory devices. - Dynamic allocation of resources based on changing requirements.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Dynamic Resource Allocation Technology for Memory Devices" This technology could be valuable in industries where memory optimization is crucial, such as data centers, cloud computing, and high-performance computing.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve memory device performance?
- This technology enhances performance by dynamically allocating resources based on specific metrics, optimizing operations for better efficiency.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of using this dynamic resource allocation system?
- Potential drawbacks could include increased complexity in managing resource allocations and potential performance fluctuations if not implemented correctly.
Original Abstract Submitted
in some implementations, a memory device may allocate first credit amounts for respective physical functions from a set of physical functions associated with the memory device, wherein the first credit amounts correspond to allocations for one or more performance metrics for the set of physical functions over a time window. the memory device may allocate second credit amounts for the respective physical functions from the set of physical functions, wherein the second credit amounts correspond to allocations for the one or more performance metrics for virtual windows included in the time window, and wherein the second credit amounts are based on the first credit amounts and an amount of time associated with the time window. the memory device may perform, during each virtual window included in the time window, one or more operations associated with the set of physical functions based on the second credit amounts.
