Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the protection of the embodiments of the present invention.
The following further describes specific implementation of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
Example one
For convenience of understanding, an application scenario of the memory smart card provided in the first embodiment of the present application is described, and referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of a memory pooling scenario provided in the first embodiment of the present application. Fig. 1 illustrates a memory pool as an example, a scene illustrated in fig. 1 includes a memory smart card 11 and a processor 12, it should be noted that fig. 1 illustrates a plurality of memory smart cards 11 and a plurality of processors 12, and these memory smart cards 11 and processors 12 may belong to the same device or different devices, which is not limited in this application. In fig. 1, the memories of the memory smart cards 11 form a memory pool 13, and the memory is allocated to each processor 12 from the memory pool 13.
In fig. 1, 3 processors 12 are shown and respectively denoted by a, B, and C, of course, fig. 1 is only an exemplary illustration and does not represent that the present application is limited thereto, and correspondingly, in the memory pool, memories corresponding to the 3 processors 12 are respectively denoted by a, B, and C, and memories a, B, and C allocated to the processors a, B, and C in the memory pool can be dynamically adjusted, so that the utilization rate of the memories is higher, and the operation efficiency is improved.
In order to implement mutual communication between the memory smart cards 11 in combination with the memory pooling scenario shown in fig. 1, with reference to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a structural diagram of a memory smart card according to an embodiment of the present application, and a structure of the memory smart card 11 according to the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. The memory smart card 11 includes: a processing module 111 and a memory interconnect interface 112;
the memory smart card 11 is provided with at least one memory slot 113 for inserting a memory bank;
the processing module 111 is configured to read first data from the memory bank or write second data into the memory bank through the memory slot 113;
the memory interconnect interface 112 is configured to encapsulate the first data according to a memory interconnect protocol and transmit the first data to another memory smart card, or receive second data transmitted by another memory smart card and decapsulate the second data. The first data and the second data may be the same or different, and the application is not limited thereto.
It should be noted that, in the present application, the Processing module 111 and the memory interconnection interface 112 may be implemented by a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with a memory media controller, or may be implemented by a Central Processing Unit (CPU) executing a program, which is not limited in this application.
Alternatively, the memory interconnect interface 112 may be an interface supporting a memory interconnect protocol. The memory interconnect interface 112 may be a high-speed Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) interface. Of course, this is merely an example. The Memory interconnect protocol is a protocol for data transmission between the Memory smart cards 112, for example, the Memory interconnect protocol may be a lightweight Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) protocol, or the Memory interconnect protocol may be a Z-th Generation (GenZ) protocol. The lightweight RDMA protocol refers to a part used for memory communication in the RDMA protocol, and this is only an exemplary description, and the memory interconnect protocol is a protocol supporting memory communication, and is simpler and more efficient in data transmission compared with a common ethernet interconnect protocol.
It should be noted that, the present application is not limited to the type of the Memory banks inserted into the Memory slots, and for example, the Memory banks may include a Storage Class Memory (english: Storage Class Memory) and may also include a Double Data Rate Memory (english: Double Data Rate), which is, of course, only exemplified here and is not meant to limit the present application.
The memory smart card 11 can also communicate with the processor 12, and can also implement data processing inside the memory smart card 11, and two application scenarios are described separately here.
Optionally, in a first application scenario, based on the structure of the memory smart card 11 shown in fig. 2, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a structure diagram of another memory smart card provided in the first embodiment of the present application, where the memory smart card 11 further includes a consistency interconnection interface 114, and the consistency interconnection interface 114 is in communication connection with the processing module 111; and the coherent interconnection interface 111 is configured to encapsulate the third data according to a protocol of the coherent interconnection interface and transmit the encapsulated third data to the processor, or receive the fourth data transmitted by the processor and decapsulate the fourth data. The third data and the fourth data may be the same or different, and the first data, the second data, the third data and the fourth data may be the same or different, and are only for illustrating different functions and are not limited to the data.
Because the bit number occupied by the description information of the data in the protocol of the consistency interconnection interface is less, the data transmission efficiency between the processor and the memory smart card 11 through the consistency interconnection interface 114 is higher. Of course, this is merely an example and does not represent a limitation of the present application.
Optionally, the processing module 111 is further configured to read first data from the memory bank, and decompress the first data; or compressing the second data and writing the compressed second data into the memory bank. The processing module 111 compresses the data before writing the data into the memory bank, so that the storage space occupied by the data can be reduced, and the utilization rate of the storage space of the memory smart card 11 can be further improved.
Optionally, in the second application scenario, the processing module 111 may also implement more data processing, for example, the processing module 111 is further configured to lock accessed data when the data is accessed. If the data is being accessed by the processor A, after the accessed data is locked, other processors except the processor A cannot access the data, so that the data error caused by the simultaneous access of the two processors is avoided; for another example, the processing module 111 is further configured to send broadcast information to other memory smart cards through the memory interconnect interface after the data is modified, where the broadcast information is used to indicate that the data is modified. If the processor a modifies the data, the memory smart card 11 sends broadcast information to other memory smart cards, so that the processor can obtain the latest data through the memory smart cards.
Based on the second application scenario, as shown in fig. 4 by way of example, fig. 4 is a structural diagram of another Memory smart card provided in this embodiment of the present application, and the Memory smart card 11 shown in fig. 4 further illustrates a structure of the processing module 111 based on the structural diagram of the Memory smart card 11 shown in fig. 2, where the processing module 111 may include a Near Memory Computing (Near Memory Computing) unit 1111 and a Memory media Controller (Memory Controller) unit 1112. The near memory computing unit 1111 is configured to compress or decompress data, and may compress the data before transmitting the data through the memory interconnect interface 112, so as to reduce the data amount during the transmission process, and similarly, decompress the data after receiving the data through the memory interconnect interface 112. A memory medium control unit 1112, configured to read data from or write data to the memory bank through the memory slot 113; and also for locking accessed data when the data is accessed; and the memory interconnection interface is also used for sending broadcast information to other memory smart cards through the memory interconnection interface after the data is modified. Of course, the structure of the processing module 111 is only illustrated here by way of example, and the present application is not limited thereto.
According to the memory smart card provided by the embodiment of the invention, because the memory interconnection interface is arranged in the memory smart card, the memory interconnection interface can encapsulate or decapsulate data according to a memory interconnection protocol, and the memory smart cards can directly transmit data through the memory interconnection interface, so that the communication between the memory smart cards is realized, the data transmission does not need to be carried out through a processor and a network card, the data transmission rate is improved, and the performance overhead of the processor is also reduced.

The electronic device 20 may further display a third image on the display screen when the memory smart card 11 performs data transmission with the processor 201 through the coherent interconnection interface 114, where the third image is used to indicate that the memory smart card 11 performs data transmission with the processor 201 through the coherent interconnection interface 114. It should be noted that the display screen may be a display screen of another device, the electronic device 20 controls the display of the display screen, and the display screen may also be a part of the electronic device 20.

In the cloud scenario shown in fig. 7, the processor 201 and the memory smart card 11 are far apart in physical space, data transmission is performed between the processor 201 and the memory smart card 11 through a network, and if the memory smart card 11 communicates with each other through the processor 201, the round-trip transmission of data consumes a large amount of computation power and bandwidth, so that the memory smart card 11 directly communicates with each other through the memory interconnect interface 112, which can reduce the consumption of computation power and bandwidth, and further improve the data transmission efficiency.
