Samsung patents memory switch that adjusts data flow based on speed
Samsung describes a system where a memory chip monitors its own data transfer speed and sends a signal if it is busy. A central switch then directs the computer to use a different memory chip to keep data flowing smoothly.
In the filing’s own words
An apparatus may include a memory device including a memory, a memory access interface configured to access the memory using a memory access protocol, and at least one control circuit configured to send a notification based on a throughput of the memory device. A system may include a first memory device, a second memory device, a host, a switch connected to the first memory device, the second memory device, and the third memory device, and at least one control circuit configured to allocate a portion of the second memory device to the host based on a throughput of the first memory device. A method may include detecting, at a first memory device, a throughput of the first memory device, sending, from the first memory device, using a memory access interface, based on the detecting, a notification, and assigning, to a host, based on the notification, a second memory device.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An apparatus comprising: a memory device comprising: a memory; a memory access interface configured to access the memory using a memory access protocol; and at least one control circuit configured to send a notification based on a throughput of the memory device.
