ENCODING SYSTEM DATA IN PARITY SYMBOLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17848774 titled 'ENCODING SYSTEM DATA IN PARITY SYMBOLS
Simplified Explanation
A RAM chip with host dies and parity dies is described in this patent application. The chip has limited storage capacity, so a memory controller is used to encode system data into the parity symbols of the parity dies. This allows for storing more data than what the host dies can accommodate. When the system data needs to be retrieved, the parity symbols are decoded, and the original system data is identified from the decoded information.
- RAM chip with host dies and parity dies
- Memory controller encodes system data into parity symbols
- Allows for storing more data than the host dies' storage capacity
- Parity symbols are decoded to retrieve the system data
- Original system data is identified from the decoded information
Original Abstract Submitted
A RAM chip includes host dies and parity dies. A memory controller receives system data to be stored on the RAM chip that is in excess of the storage capacity of the host dies. The memory controller encodes the system data in the parity symbols of the parity dies. The system data is retrieved by decoding the parity symbols and identifying the system data from the decoded information.
