Memory access system
| DWPI Title: Method for accessing e.g. cross point memory, for data processing system, involves sending read request for set of locations in memory to read set of locations in parallel, and receiving summed value of memory values in locations in memory |
| Abstract: A method and system for accessing a memory for a data processing system. The method comprises sending a read request for a plurality of locations in the memory to read the plurality of locations in parallel based on an upper bound for reading the memory. The upper bound for a number of locations is based on a group of constraints for the memory. The method receives a summed value of a plurality of memory values in the plurality of locations in the memory. |
| Use: Method for accessing a memory e.g. cross point memory, cross bar memory, dynamic RAM, optical memory, and quantum memory (all claimed), for a data processing system. |
| Advantage: The method enables reducing data consistency issues by decreasing time needed to read data. The method enables reducing acquisition time by selectively applying passive sampling over the memory. |
| Novelty: The method involves sending a read request (110) for a set of locations (112) in a memory (104) to read the set of the locations in parallel based on an upper bound (114) for reading the memory, where the upper bound for a number of locations is based on a group of constraints (116) for the memory. A summed value (118) of a set of memory values (122) is received in the set of the locations in the memory. A sampling pattern is identified for sampling the locations in the memory, where the sampling pattern is utilized to identify the set of the locations for the read request. |
