Samsung patents method to reduce traffic jams in computer memory
Samsung has filed a patent for a system that manages how data is sent to different parts of a computer's memory. It checks which memory sections are busy and assigns new data to available sections to prevent bottlenecks.
In the filing’s own words
Systems and methods for addressing memory die contention are disclosed. The method may include receiving a first stream including first data; determining availability of a first storage element and a second storage element from a set of storage elements; identifying state information for the first stream, wherein the state information includes a first assignment state of the first stream relative to the first storage element and a second assignment state of the first stream relative to the second storage element; based on determining the availability of the first storage element and the second storage element, and based on identifying the state information for the first stream, assigning the first stream to the second storage element; and performing an operation on the first data by the second storage element.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: receiving a first stream including first data; determining availability of a first storage element and a second storage element from a set of storage elements; identifying state information for the first stream, wherein the state information includes a first assignment state of the first stream relative to the first storage element and a second assignment state of the first stream relative to the second storage element; based on determining the availability of the first storage element and the second storage element, and based on identifying the state information for the first stream, assigning the first stream to the second storage element; and performing an operation on the first data by the second storage element.
