Samsung patents memory switch that moves data based on speed
Samsung describes a system where a central switch monitors how fast data is being read from one memory device. If the speed drops, the switch moves some of that data to a second memory device so the computer can access it faster.
In the filing’s own words
A method may include accessing, by at least one host, using a first memory access link between a switch and a first memory device, data at the first memory device, and transferring, based on a throughput of the first memory device, using a second memory access link between the switch and a second memory device, a portion of the data from the first memory device to the second memory device. The method may further include accessing, by the at least one host, using the second memory access link, the portion of the data at the second memory device. The method may further include selecting, based on the throughput of the first memory device, one of the at least one host to perform the transferring.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: accessing, by at least one host, using a first memory access link between a switch and a first memory device, data at the first memory device; and transferring, based on a throughput of the first memory device, using a second memory access link between the switch and a second memory device, a portion of the data from the first memory device to the second memory device.
