Samsung patents memory system that copies data across chips for safety
Samsung describes a system that pools memory chips into a shared resource for computers. It designates one chip as the main storage and another as a backup copy, using a virtual interface to manage data requests from the main computer.
In the filing’s own words
Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses for data replication in memory devices. In one or more examples, the systems, devices, and methods include providing an allocation of memory resources of a memory pool appliance to a host; selecting a first memory module of multiple memory modules of the memory pool appliance as a primary memory resource of the allocation; selecting at least a second memory module of the multiple memory modules as a secondary memory resource of the allocation; configuring, in a memory switch of the memory pool appliance and for the allocation, a virtual memory module as an interface between the host and memory modules of the allocation; and executing a first command, received at the virtual memory module and from the host, to read data based on the allocation.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: providing an allocation of memory resources of a memory pool appliance to a host; selecting a first memory module among one or more memory modules of the memory pool appliance as a primary memory resource of the allocation; selecting at least a second memory module among the one or more memory modules as a secondary memory resource of the allocation; configuring, in a memory switch of the memory pool appliance and for the allocation, a virtual memory module as an interface between the host and the one or more memory modules of the allocation; and executing a first command, received at the virtual memory module and from the host, to read data based on the allocation.
