Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Shan Liu: “Systems and Methods for Load Balancing Memory Traffic.” The invention describes an integrated circuit with two memory controllers and a load-balancing multiplexer. When the second controller has available bandwidth, the multiplexer can redirect a read operation from the first controller to the second. The system can also send a write operation to both controllers so that data is stored in two memory devices, while performing memory-traffic-shaping operations. Liu is credited with 1 patent.
