Inphi Assigned Two Patents

Memory controller system with non-volatile backup storage, memory centric computing

Memory controller system with non-volatile backup storage
Inphi Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,348,705) developed by Wu, Shih-Ho, and Haywood, Christopher, Thousand Oaks, CA, for a “memory controller system with non-volatile backup storage.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”The present invention is directed to computer storage systems and methods thereof. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an isolated storage control system that includes both a non-volatile memory and a volatile memory. The non-volatile memory comprises a data area and a metadata area. In power failure or similar situations, content of the volatile memory is copied to the data area of the non-volatile memory, and various system parameters are stored at the metadata area. When the system restores its operation, the information at the metadata area is processed, and the content stored at the data area of the non-volatile memory is copied to the volatile memory. There are other embodiments as well.

The patent application was filed on June 26, 2014 (14/316,707).

Memory centric computing
Inphi Corporation, Santa Clara, CA,
has been assigned a patent (9,348,539) developed by Saxena, Nirmal Raj, Wang, David, Westlake Village, CA, Haywood, Christopher, McDonald, Eric, and Xu, Chao, Santa Clara, CA, for a “memory centric computing.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A hybrid memory system. This system can include a processor coupled to a hybrid memory buffer, (HMB) that is coupled to a plurality of DRAM and a plurality of Flash memory modules. The HMB module can include a Memory Storage Controller, (MSC) module and a Near-Memory-Processing, (NMP) module coupled by a SerDes, (Serializer/Deserializer) interface. This system can utilize a hybrid, (mixed-memory type) memory system architecture suitable for supporting low-latency DRAM devices and low-cost NAND flash devices within the same memory sub-system for an industry-standard computer system.

The patent application was filed on February 28, 2014 (14/194,416).
