  • Publication number: 20240193088
    Abstract: A memory device includes a first memory and a second memory that caches data stored in the first memory. At least one controller of the memory device receives page fault information from a host. The page fault information results from a request for data by the host that is stored in the first memory but is not cached in the second memory when requested by the host. The memory device uses the received page fault information for one or more inputs into a prefetch model trained by Machine Learning (ML) to generate at least one inference. Based at least in part on the at least one inference, prefetch data is cached in the second memory. In one aspect, the page fault information is used to train the prefetch model. In another aspect, the page fault information includes at least one virtual address used by the host for the requested data.

  • Patent number: 11544547
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes an array of non-volatile memory cells that are configured to store weights of a neural network. Associated with the array is a data latch structure that includes a page buffer, which can store weights for a layer of the neural network that is read out of the array, and a transfer buffer, that can store inputs for the neural network. The memory device can perform multiply and accumulate operations between inputs and weight of the neural network within the latch structure, avoiding the need to transfer data out of the array and associated latch structure for portions of an inference operation. By using binary weights and inputs, multiplication can be performed by bit-wise XNOR operations. The results can then be summed and activation applied, all within the latch structure.
