Samsung patents memory system that lets other devices share its storage
Samsung describes a memory architecture where a computer's memory chip can accept data requests from outside its own system. It uses a local manager and a gateway to route these external requests to specific shared sections of the memory.
In the filing’s own words
Provided are systems and methods for providing a memory group. The system includes a first memory device associated with a first host, the first memory device including a first memory, at least a first portion of the first memory being a first shared memory that is configured to receive a first transaction request associated with a first data operation, the first transaction request from outside of the first host, a first local-memory manager configured to manage the first shared memory, and a first access gateway of the first memory device, the first access gateway configured to determine, based on a first data structure of the first memory device, to route the first transaction request to the first shared memory.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A system for providing a first memory group, the system comprising: a first memory device associated with a first host, the first memory device comprising: a first memory, at least a first portion of the first memory being a first shared memory that is configured to receive a first transaction request associated with a first data operation, the first transaction request from outside of the first host; a first local-memory manager configured to manage the first shared memory; and a first access gateway of the first memory device, the first access gateway configured to determine, based on a first data structure of the first memory device, to route the first transaction request to the first shared memory.
