Title:
ON-DEVICE DATA ANALYTICS USING NAND FLASH BASED INTELLIGENT MEMORY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/074483
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A NAND Flash based content addressable memory (CAM) is used for a key-value addressed storage drive. The device can use a standard transport protocol such as PCI-E, SAS, SATA, eMMC, SCSI, and so on. A host writes a key-value pair to the drive, where the drive writes the keys along bit lines of a CAM NAND portion of the drive and stores the value in the drive. The drive then maintains a table linking the keys to location of the value. In a read process, the host provides a key to drive, which then broadcasts down the word lines of blocks storing the keys. Based on any matching bit lines, the tables can then be used to retrieve and supply the corresponding data to the host. The system can be applied to perform a wide range of analytics on data sets loaded into the NAND array.
