US 12,112,060 B2 · Multi-host communications

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for multi-host communications are described. In some examples, a memory system may be coupled with multiple host systems. The memory system may facilitate communications between the multiple host systems For example, a first host system may be coupled with a first buffer of the memory system and a second host system may be coupled with a second buffer of the memory system. The first host system may have read and write access to the first buffer and read access to the second buffer. In response to a write operation being initiated by the first host system, data may be written to the first buffer. The second host system may read the data written to the first buffer. The second host system may take an action or respond based on the data read from the first buffer.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, by a memory system from a first host system, a write command to store first data to a buffer of the memory system, wherein the buffer is coupled with the first host system and a second host system different than the first host system;
writing, by the memory system, the first data to the buffer of the memory system based at least in part on receiving the write command, wherein the first host system has write access and read access to the buffer and the second host system has read access to the buffer;
transmitting, to the second host system, an interrupt signal indicating to suspend one or more operations for a duration and to read the buffer based at least in part on writing the first data to the buffer;
and
transmitting the first data from the buffer of the memory system to the second host system based at least in part on transmitting the interrupt signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by processing circuitry to:

receive, by a memory system from a first host system, a write command to store first data to a buffer of the memory system, wherein the buffer is coupled with the first host system and a second host system different than the first host system;
write, by the memory system, the first data to the buffer of the memory system based at least in part on receiving the write command, wherein the first host system has write access and read access to the buffer and the second host system has read access to the buffer;
transmit, to the second host system, an interrupt signal indicating to suspend one or more operations for a duration and read to the buffer based at least in part on writing the first data to the buffer;
and
transmit the first data from the buffer of the memory system to the second host system based at least in part on transmitting the interrupt signal.
