MEMORY EXPANDER, HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING DEVICE USING MEMORY EXPANDER, AND OPERATION METHOD OF HETEROGENOUS COMPUTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18344837 Titled 'MEMORY EXPANDER, HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING DEVICE USING MEMORY EXPANDER, AND OPERATION METHOD OF HETEROGENOUS COMPUTING'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a memory expander that has a memory device and a controller. The memory device stores different task data, while the controller manages the memory device. The controller can receive instructions and information from a central processing unit (CPU) through a compute express link (CXL) interface. When operating in a management mode, the controller can receive a read request and an address from an accelerator through the CXL interface. It then uses the metadata provided to transmit the appropriate task data from the memory device to the accelerator in response to the read request.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory expander includes a memory device that stores a plurality of task data. A controller controls the memory device. The controller receives metadata and a management request from an external central processing unit (CPU) through a compute express link (CXL) interface and operates in a management mode in response to the management request. In the management mode, the controller receives a read request and a first address from an accelerator through the CXL interface and transmits one of the plurality of task data to the accelerator based on the metadata in response to the read request.
