Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If static staggering times are used between accessing different partitions, then device complexity is reduced, but throughput is suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamically adjustable staggering times between partition accesses, replacing static timing parameters with configurable ones that can be modified based on operational conditions. This allows the memory system to optimize throughput for different workloads while maintaining manageable complexity through structured control mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the timing parameters (staggering times) between partition accesses from fixed values to adjustable parameters. By modifying these timing parameters dynamically, the system achieves improved throughput without requiring fundamental architectural changes, balancing performance gains with acceptable complexity increases.
2Use of energy by moving object
If static staggering times independent of power availability are used, then ease of operation is improved, but power consumption is not optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the memory system monitors power availability and operational conditions, then adjusts staggering times accordingly. This feedback loop enables power consumption optimization while automating the complexity of timing configuration, making the system both energy-efficient and easy to operate.
Solution Approach 2:
The memory system automatically adjusts its own timing parameters based on monitored conditions without requiring external intervention. This self-service capability optimizes power consumption while maintaining ease of operation, as the system autonomously adapts to changing conditions without user involvement.
3Loss of time
If static staggering times independent of data patterns are used, then device complexity is reduced, but latency is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamically adjustable staggering times that adapt to different data access patterns. By making timing parameters dynamic rather than static, the system reduces access latency for various workload types while managing complexity through structured control mechanisms that automatically detect and respond to pattern changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies timing parameters based on detected data patterns, changing staggering times to match actual access requirements. This parameter adaptation reduces latency for different workload types while maintaining acceptable complexity through automated pattern recognition and timing adjustment mechanisms.
4Productivity
If dynamically configurable staggering times are implemented, then throughput is increased, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamically configurable staggering times that adjust based on operational conditions, directly increasing throughput. The complexity increase is managed through structured control mechanisms and automated adjustment algorithms that maintain system manageability while enabling performance optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes timing parameters from static to dynamic, enabling throughput improvements through adaptive staggering times. The associated complexity is mitigated by automated parameter adjustment based on monitored conditions, allowing the system to achieve better performance without proportionally increasing operational complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for timing parameter adjustment mechanisms are described. The memory system may receive an access command to access a block of data. Based on receiving the access command, the memory system may determine a parameter (e.g., a timing parameter) associated with accessing the block of data. The timing parameter may indicate a duration between a first time to access a first page of the block of data and a second time to access a second page of the block of data. The memory system may perform an access operation on the block of data based on determining the timing parameter.
