Non-volatile Memory Mapping Units for CPU Scaling

The patent divides the memory system into multiple memory controllers, each handling a portion of the memory chips. This segmentation allows parallel processing of memory operations across multiple controllers, achieving proportional speed improvement without requiring a proportional increase in CPU count. Each controller operates independently with its own CPU, optimizing the CPU-to-memory ratio while maintaining high throughput.

The patent introduces a multi-dimensional architecture by organizing memory chips in banks and controllers in groups, creating a hierarchical structure. This dimensional organization allows multiple memory operations to proceed simultaneously across different banks and controllers, achieving speed scaling without linearly increasing CPU resources.

By segmenting the memory system into independent memory controller units, each with its own CPU, the patent enables modular integration. This segmentation reduces the integration complexity compared to having multiple CPUs in a single centralized controller, as each controller unit can be designed, tested, and integrated independently.

The patent designs memory controllers as universal modules that can handle multiple memory chip types and configurations. This multi-functionality reduces integration complexity by providing a standardized interface and control mechanism that works across different memory implementations, eliminating the need for custom integration solutions for each configuration.
