APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY MANAGING MEMORY
The present invention relates to a dynamic memory management method which includes generating an N-dimensional memory address space in which coordinates are in a range of N natural numbers, the sum of which is the number of bits; and mapping a predetermined linear memory address region to an address region in the N-dimensional memory address space.
Double data rate (DDR) memory controller apparatus and method
A computer-implemented method includes an act of configuring hardware to cause at least a part of the hardware to operate as a double data rate (DDR) memory controller, and to produce a capture clock to time a read data path, where a timing of the capture clock is based on a first clock signal of a first clock, delay the first clock signal to produce a delayed first clock signal, adjust the delay such that at least one clock edge of the delayed first clock signal is placed nearer to at least one clock edge of at least one data strobe (DQS), or at least one signal dependent on a DQS timing, and produce a modified timing of the capture clock based on the delay of the first clock signal.

CONTROLLER, MEMORY SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING MEMORY
An object is to reduce the number of writes of information managed by a controller to a non-volatile memory. A controller according to one aspect of the present invention includes: a first interface unit connected to a non-volatile memory including a plurality of blocks of memory cells that enter into both a first state and a second state and in which a plurality of addresses is allocated to the plurality of blocks; an information holding unit that holds first information; and a control unit that reads first data from a first block of the non-volatile memory via the first interface unit, specifies the memory cell in the second state among the memory cells in the first block and writes second data for causing the specified memory cell in the second state to transition to the first state, and selects one of the first information and the first data on the basis of the address of the first block and writes the selected first information or first data to the first block.
MEMORY DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
A memory device, for executing an anneal computation with first state and a second state. The memory device includes a first memory array, a second memory array, a control circuit, a sensing circuit and a processing circuit. the control circuit selects a first horizontal row of memory units from the first memory array, and selects a second horizontal row of memory units from the second memory array. The sensing circuit computes a local energy value of the first state according to the current generated by the memory units of the first horizontal row, and computes a local energy value of the second state according to the current generated by the memory units of the second horizontal row. The processing circuit updates the first state and/or the second state according to the local energy value of the first state and the local energy value of the second state.
MAPPING LOGICAL AND PHYSICAL PROCESSORS AND LOGICAL AND PHYSICAL MEMORY
A mapping may be made between an array of physical processors and an array of functional logical processors. Also, a mapping may be made between logical memory channels (associated with the logical processors) and functional physical memory channels (associated with the physical processors). These mappings may be stored within one or more tables, which may then be used to bypass faulty processors and memory channels when implementing memory accesses, while optimizing locality (e.g., by minimizing the proximity of memory channels to processors).
Maintaining A Synchronous Replication Relationship Between Two Or More Storage Systems
Maintaining a synchronous replication relationship between two or more storage systems, including: receiving, by at least one of a plurality of storage systems across which a dataset will be synchronously replicated, timing information for at least one of the plurality of storage systems; and establishing, based on the timing information, a synchronous replication lease describing a period of time during which the synchronous replication relationship is valid, wherein a request to modify the dataset may only be acknowledged after a copy of the dataset has been modified on each of the storage systems.
MEMORY DEVICE, MEMORY DEVICE CONTROLLING METHOD, AND MEMORY DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD
According to one embodiment, a memory device includes a first nonvolatile memory die, a second nonvolatile memory die, a controller, and a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor incorporated respectively in the first nonvolatile memory die and the second nonvolatile memory die. The controller reads temperatures measured by the first and second temperature sensors, from the first and second nonvolatile memory dies. When at least one of the temperatures read from the first and second nonvolatile memory dies is equal to or higher than a threshold temperature, the controller reduces a frequency of issue of commands to the first and second nonvolatile memory dies or a seed of access to the first and second nonvolatile memory dies.
