  • Use of CXL expansion memory for metadata offload
    Patent number: 11914472
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory module, a memory controller coupled to the memory controller by a memory bus, and an expansion memory device coupled to the memory controller by a data communication interface. The memory controller receives user data, calculates error correction code (ECC) data for the user data, determines metadata related to the user data, writes the user data and the ECC data to the memory module via the memory bus, and stores the metadata to the expansion memory device with a transaction on the data communication interface.
