Samsung patents memory system that automatically decompresses AI data

Samsung describes a hardware system that stores compressed AI model data in memory. It uses a mapping table to identify which specific decompression method to apply based on the data's location, allowing the processor to retrieve and expand the information automatically.

Why it mattersThis could help devices run AI tasks more efficiently by handling data expansion directly in the memory controller rather than using the main processor.

In the filing’s own words

Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses for compression of artificial intelligence models. In one or more examples, the systems, devices, and methods include categorizing data based on an analysis of a distribution of the data, generating compressed data based on the data and on a compression algorithm that is selected based on the categorization, and storing the compressed data in a storage device. In one or more examples, the systems, devices, and methods include identifying an address associated with compressed data based on a request for the compressed data, determining a decompression algorithm based on the address, and decompressing the compressed data using the determined decompression algorithm.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A system comprising: a storage device configured to store compressed data; and a memory controller communicatively coupled to the storage device, the memory controller comprising: an address checker configured to receive a request for data associated with an address of the storage device; a mapping structure stored in memory and associating a set of address ranges with respective compression types; and a set of decompression circuits respectively corresponding to the compression types, wherein the address checker is configured to: identify an address range corresponding to the address based on the mapping structure; and route the compressed data to a decompression circuit selected based on the identified address range.
