Memory system with cache line size multiple of memory line
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886291B1) discloses an information handling system that includes a processor utilizing data with a cache line size and a memory module storing and retrieving data with a memory line size. The system involves a memory controller calculating error correction code (ECC) data for user data and generating metadata for data chunks equal to a specific number of cache lines. The memory controller is designed to handle various configurations, such as generating metadata for adjacent user data locations and utilizing auxiliary data lanes for ECC and metadata purposes.
Furthermore, the patent details a method associated with the information handling system, emphasizing the process of calculating ECC data, generating metadata, and storing user data efficiently. The method involves receiving user data, retrieving additional data based on the received information, and storing the data with corresponding metadata. The patent also highlights the utilization of specific data lane configurations, such as in DDR4 and DDR5 memory modules, to optimize data processing and storage. Additionally, the metadata generated includes crucial information like error correction codes, encryption hashes, security key hashes, and caching tags, enhancing data integrity and security within the system.
