US 2019/0155515 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEMORY LOAD BALANCING

Abstract

The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for processing memory operation requests. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computing system having one or more processors and non-volatile memory: (1) obtaining a plurality of internal memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of internal memory operation requests originating from within the computing system; (2) obtaining a plurality of external memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of external memory operation requests originating from one or more devices remote and distinct from the computing system; and (3) regulating a rate at which the plurality of internal memory operation requests are transferred to the non-volatile memory based on an amount of external memory operation requests in the plurality of external memory requests.

Dependent claims

A method for reducing latency of external memory requests to non-volatile memory, comprising:

at a computing system having one or more processors and non-volatile memory:
obtaining a plurality of internal memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of internal memory operation requests originating from within the computing system;
obtaining a plurality of external memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of external memory operation requests originating from one or more devices remote from the computing system;
and
regulating a rate at which the plurality of internal memory operation requests is transferred to the non-volatile memory based on an amount of external memory operation requests in the plurality of external memory operation requests.

2 more elements

A computing system comprising:

one or more processors;
non-volatile memory;
and
memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
obtaining a plurality of internal memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of internal memory operation requests originating from within the computing system;
obtaining a plurality of external memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of external memory operation requests originating from one or more devices remote from the computing system;
and
regulating a rate at which the plurality of internal memory operation requests is transferred to the non-volatile memory based on an amount of external memory operation requests in the plurality of external memory requests.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing system having a non-volatile memory and one or more processors, cause the computing system to:

obtain a plurality of internal memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of internal memory operation requests originating from within the computing system;
obtain a plurality of external memory operation requests for the non-volatile memory, the plurality of external memory operation requests originating from one or more devices remote from the computing system;
and
regulate a rate at which the plurality of internal memory operation requests are transferred to the non-volatile memory based on an amount of external memory operation requests in the plurality of external memory requests.
