Google patents chip design that speeds up memory data transfers

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Google describes a system that uses dedicated processing elements to handle memory tasks more efficiently. These elements check if needed data is in a fast local cache; if not, they schedule a transfer from external memory to keep the main processor busy.

Why it mattersThis could lead to faster data handling in future computer chips, potentially improving performance for tasks that move large amounts of data.

In the filing’s own words

Systems and methods including a memory offloading engine, and one or more memory acceleration processing elements (PEs), where each memory acceleration PE is configured to: receive a respective memory operation task, wherein the respective memory operation task is associated with corresponding target data, and communicate with a data cache when the corresponding target data is in the data cache or schedule a memory-to-memory operation with an external memory for the memory offloading engine when the corresponding target data is not in the data cache.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A memory acceleration system comprising: a memory offloading engine; and a plurality of memory acceleration processing elements (PEs), wherein each memory acceleration PE is configured to: receive a respective memory operation task, wherein the respective memory operation task is associated with corresponding target data; and communicate with a data cache when the corresponding target data is in the data cache or schedule a memory-to-memory operation with an external memory for the memory offloading engine when the corresponding target data is not in the data cache.
