Samsung patents memory design to prevent data queue overflow
Samsung has filed a patent for a specific way to organize data in computer memory. The design uses a queue that holds pointers, or digital addresses, to separate command instructions from actual user data to manage storage more efficiently.
In the filing’s own words
A memory is disclosed. The memory may include a first data structure. The first data structure may include a field, which may store a first pointer to a second data structure. The second data structure may include a second pointer to a data relating to a command and a third pointer to a user data. The memory may also include a queue that may include the first data structure.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A memory, comprising: a first data structure stored in the memory, the first data structure including a field, the field to store a first identifier to a second data structure, the second data structure including a second identifier and a third identifier, the second identifier identifying a command data and the third identifier identifying a user data; and a queue stored in the memory, the queue including the first data structure.
