Title: Mechanism and method for accessing data in a shared memory
Inventor: GREGORY REED SYKES
IPC: G06F15/167
Filed: 2015-09-11
Abstract: In a shared memory data are allocated into topics 32, accessible through respective constant addresses. A number of buffers 36 is allocated to each topic, the number being equal to that of clients 40 accessing the topic plus two for each server 50. The clients and servers have active access pointers 42, 52 which are directed to the buffers by an active access pointer director 38 based on the transaction request. Director 38 identifies the buffer 58 containing the most recent data and directs newly communicating clients 40 to them. Server read/write transactions are directed to a further buffer 70 where the most recent data are copied. Most recent data is only guaranteed at the time of transaction. Zero-copy operations, whereby data is accessed without copying at operating system level, uses machine assembly language transactions only ensuring that the most recent data is lock free. Topics include airspeed, waypoints, flight plans.

Abstract: A storage device (6 fig 1) such as a solid state drive Flash memory device (SSD) includes memory devices (10,16A-N fig 1) comprised of multi-level (or tri level) memory cells (MLC, TLC). A processor correlates the first upper (first) physical page address and the lower (second) physical page address of a chosen MLC. The processor further applies a first read operation to the MLC cell (preferably by applying two separate read reference voltages), to determine a value of first bit associated with an upper (first) physical page address. The processor additionally applies a second read operation (preferably by applying a further single read reference voltage), to determine a value of a second bit associated with a lower (second) physical page address. The processor determines, based at least in part on the value of the first and second bits, a soft decision value (employing a log likelihood ratio in an error correction coder/decoder) associated with the second bit, and verifies the value of the second bit predominantly based on the calculated soft decision value. The multilevel cells or tri level cells may be NAND Flash memory, phase change memory PCM, Resistive RAM memory RRAM or Magnetoresistive Memory MRAM or ferroelectric memory FRAM. The invention also relates to a method of implementation including implementation by a computer program software executed on the processor.
