If traditional parameter changing methods are used in IC memory elements, then parameter modification can be performed, but the process is time-consuming and slows down execution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple parameters in parallel within the same clock cycle. The system receives a command to change parameter values and simultaneously receives multiple data sets containing the new values for different parameters, allowing all parameter modifications to be prepared and executed without sequential delays, thus resolving the time-consuming nature of traditional parameter changing methods
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from sequential parameter modification (one-dimensional time approach) to parallel parameter modification across multiple data streams (multi-dimensional approach). By receiving multiple data sets at the same data rate as the command and processing them concurrently, the system adds temporal and data-stream dimensions to the parameter change process, significantly reducing total modification time while maintaining high-speed execution modes

AI summary
Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for changing storage parameters. An integrated circuit (IC) memory element receives a command to change a value of a parameter associated with the IC memory element. A parameter includes a setting for one or more storage operations of an IC memory element. An IC memory element receives one or more data sets with a command. A data set includes an identifier associated with a parameter to be changed and a new value for the parameter. Each of one or more data sets is received at a same data rate as a command. An IC memory element writes, for each of one or more data sets, a new value for a parameter to a storage location associated with the parameter.
