SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS IN-MEMORY VERSIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240231684 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS IN-MEMORY VERSIONING
The abstract describes devices and techniques for continuous in-memory versioning, where a memory subsystem includes a memory device storing data units with associated metadata, and a processing device performing data operations based on the metadata.
- Memory subsystem with memory device storing data units and metadata
- Processing device performing data operations based on metadata
- Continuous in-memory versioning for efficient data management
- Logical memory addresses mapped to physical memory locations
- State information and dirty commit timestamp used for data operations
Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Database management - File systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient data versioning - Improved data integrity - Enhanced data management
Benefits: - Reduced storage overhead - Faster data access - Enhanced data protection
Commercial Applications: Continuous in-memory versioning technology can be used in various commercial applications such as cloud storage services, database management systems, and enterprise data centers.
Questions about Continuous In-Memory Versioning: 1. How does continuous in-memory versioning improve data integrity? Continuous in-memory versioning ensures that data changes are tracked and managed efficiently, reducing the risk of data corruption.
2. What are the key benefits of using continuous in-memory versioning in data storage systems? Continuous in-memory versioning helps reduce storage overhead, improve data access speed, and enhance data protection, making it a valuable technology for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
devices and techniques for continuous in-memory versioning are described herein. a memory subsystem includes a memory device configured to store a first data unit, a second data unit, and a third data unit, wherein the first, second, and third data units have a set of physical memory locations on the memory device, and metadata associated with the first, second, and third data units, the metadata including state information and a dirty commit timestamp; and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device, the processing device configured to: receive, from a host system, a first memory command associated with a logical memory address, the logical memory address mapped to the set of physical memory locations of the memory device; and in response to receiving the first memory command, perform a data operation on the first, second, or third data unit based on the state information and the dirty commit timestamp.
