Samsung patents hardware chip that helps computers find data faster

Samsung describes a method where a special memory chip, called a CMM-DC device, works alongside a main computer to search through large amounts of data. The chip finds the closest matches to a user's request, sending only the top results back to the main computer to save time.

Why it mattersThis could make searching through massive databases quicker by doing the heavy lifting on a dedicated chip rather than the main processor.

In the filing’s own words

A data search method and device are provided according to some example embodiments. The data search method including: obtaining, by a host, a user input vector; determining, by at least one CXL Memory Module DRAM Compute (CMM-DC) device, M objects that are nearest in distance to the user input vector from a dataset stored in the at least one CMM-DC device; and determining, by the host, K first objects that are nearest in the distance to the user input vector from among the M objects.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A data search method, the method comprising: obtaining, by a host, a user input vector; determining, by at least one CXL Memory Module DRAM Compute (CMM-DC) device, M objects that are nearest in distance to the user input vector from a dataset stored in the at least one CMM-DC device; and determining, by the host, K first objects that are nearest in the distance to the user input vector from among the M objects.
