Samsung patents memory system that reports its own speed and size
This patent describes a storage device with two controllers that work together to manage data flow. One controller handles network connections using a specific data-sharing rule, while the other manages the actual memory chips. The device also includes a module that calculates its own speed, size, and response time to share this information with other computers.
In the filing’s own words
Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a storage resource. The method can include: operating a first controller coupled to a network interface in accordance with a cache coherent protocol; performing at least one operation on data associated with a cache using a second controller coupled to the first controller and coupled to a first memory; and storing the data on a second memory coupled to one of the first controller or the second controller.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A device for providing a storage resource, the device comprising: a first controller coupled to a network interface, wherein the first controller is operable with a cache coherent protocol; a second controller coupled to the first controller and coupled to a first memory, the second controller performing at least one operation associated with a cache of the device; a second memory coupled to at least one of the first controller or the second controller; and a module that is configured to: determine at least one capability associated with the device, the at least one capability corresponding to profile information defining a relationship between capacity value, a bandwidth value, and a latency value; and transmit the at least one capability to another device.
