Title: Innovations by Tienyo Pan
Introduction
Tienyo Pan is a notable inventor based in Taipei, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of computer memory systems, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing memory access efficiency and reducing latency in computer systems.
Latest Patents
One of Tienyo Pan's latest patents is titled "Non-blocking memory write/read mechanism by combining two pending." This invention discloses a computer system that includes multiple masters, such as processors and cache memories. The system minimizes read response time from the main memory by prioritizing read commands. If a read command targets data with the same address as a pending write command, the two commands are combined, allowing for efficient processing. This innovation significantly reduces mean read response time by transferring data directly from the buffer to the master that issued the read command.
Another significant patent by Tienyo Pan is the "Memory controller and method of memory access sequence reordering." This improved memory controller accesses a computer memory consisting of multiple banks of page mode memory cells. It connects to a CPU via a split transaction bus with out-of-order completion capability. The controller features a unified command queue and multiple command queues corresponding to the memory banks. It employs dispatch logic to manage memory access commands effectively, minimizing penalties associated with row and page misses. This advancement enhances overall memory utilization efficiency and reduces average memory access latency.
