Nvidia patents method to shrink data requests for faster chip communication
Nvidia describes a technique for speeding up data transfer between computer components by altering the request before it is sent. The system identifies parts of the request that stay the same, removes them, and replaces them with a shorter reference code to save space.
In the filing’s own words
A device includes a memory and one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the memory. The one or more processing devices to determine that a data request comprises first persistent data, remove the first persistent data from the data request to obtain first dynamic data, generate first modification data representing the first persistent data, combine the first dynamic data and first modification data to obtain a first modified data request, and cause the first modified data request to be transmitted to a second device over a communication link.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A device comprising: a memory; and one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processing devices to: determine that a data request comprises first persistent data; remove the first persistent data from the data request to obtain first dynamic data; generate first modification data representing the first persistent data, wherein the first modification data comprises a reference value identifying a first logical location of the first persistent data in a first data structure of the memory, and wherein a size of the first modification data is smaller than a size of the first persistent data; combine the first dynamic data and the first modification data to obtain a first modified data request; and cause the first modified data request to be transmitted to a second device over a communication link.
