ASSIGNING BLOCKS OF MEMORY SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319899 titled 'ASSIGNING BLOCKS OF MEMORY SYSTEMS
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for assigning blocks of memory in memory systems. Some memory systems can characterize blocks, identify complete and reduced blocks, determine available planes for storing data, and assign special function blocks based on certain criteria.
- Memory systems can initiate operations to analyze blocks of memory.
- They can differentiate between complete and reduced blocks based on the analysis.
- The systems can assess the availability of planes for storing data in reduced blocks.
- Special function blocks are assigned based on the availability of planes meeting a threshold.
- This process optimizes memory usage and organization within the memory system.
Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Memory management in electronic devices - Cloud computing infrastructure
Problems Solved: - Efficient allocation of memory blocks - Improved data organization and access - Optimization of memory system performance
Benefits: - Enhanced memory system functionality - Increased data storage efficiency - Streamlined memory management processes
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Memory Block Assignment Technology for Enhanced Data Storage" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as: - Information technology - Data centers - Semiconductor manufacturing
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve memory system performance? - This technology optimizes memory block assignment, leading to better data organization and access efficiency. 2. What are the potential drawbacks of using this memory block assignment method? - One potential drawback could be the complexity of implementing and managing the system, which may require specialized knowledge and resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for assigning blocks of memory systems are described. some memory systems may be configured to initiate an operation to characterize a plurality of blocks of a memory system; identify a first quantity of complete blocks of the plurality of blocks and a second quantity of reduced blocks of the plurality of blocks based at least in part on initiating the operation; determine, for a block of the second quantity of reduced blocks, whether a quantity of planes available for use to store the information in the block satisfies a threshold; and assign the block as a special function block configured to store data associated with a function of the memory system based at least in part on determining that the quantity of planes available for use to store the information in the block of the second quantity of reduced blocks satisfies the threshold.
