HIERARCHICAL MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338324 titled 'HIERARCHICAL MEMORY SYSTEM
The abstract of this patent application describes a hierarchical memory system and method, which involves demoting data from a fast memory to a slow memory, promoting it to an intermediate memory zone, and eventually promoting it back to the fast memory through the intermediate memory zone.
- Demoting data from fast memory to slow memory
- Promoting data from slow memory to an intermediate memory zone
- Promoting data from the intermediate memory zone back to the fast memory
- The intermediate memory zone includes a virtual zone within the slow memory
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in computer systems to optimize memory usage and improve overall performance. - It may find applications in data centers where efficient memory management is crucial for handling large amounts of data.
Problems Solved: - Efficient memory management - Optimization of memory usage - Improved system performance
Benefits: - Enhanced memory hierarchy - Better utilization of memory resources - Improved system speed and efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Memory Management Technology for Enhanced System Performance" This technology could be commercialized by companies developing computer hardware, data centers, and other systems that require efficient memory management for optimal performance. It could provide a competitive edge in the market by offering improved system speed and efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this hierarchical memory system improve overall system performance? - This system optimizes memory usage by efficiently managing data movement between different memory tiers, resulting in improved system speed and efficiency.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world applications? - Some challenges may include the complexity of managing data movement between memory tiers and ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
a hierarchical memory system and method. in some embodiments, the method includes: demoting a first page of data from a fast memory to a slow memory; promoting the first page of data from the slow memory to an intermediate memory zone; and promoting the first page of data from the intermediate memory zone to the fast memory, wherein the intermediate memory zone includes a virtual zone within the slow memory.
