A device includes an interconnect and a plurality of devices connected to the interconnect. The plurality of devices includes a first interface connected to the interconnect and a second interface connected to the interconnect. The plurality of devices further includes a first memory bank connected to the interconnect and a second memory bank connected to the interconnect. The plurality of devices further includes an external memory interface connected to the interconnect and a controller configured to establish virtual channels among the plurality of devices connected to the interconnect.

A device includes a memory bank. The memory bank includes data portions of a first way group. The data portions of the first way group include a data portion of a first way of the first way group and a data portion of a second way of the first way group. The memory bank further includes data portions of a second way group. The device further includes a configuration register and a controller configured to individually allocate, based on one or more settings in the configuration register, the first way and the second way to one of an addressable memory space and a data cache.

Resource access control modules that are part of an operating system kernel and data structures visible in both user space and kernel space provide for user space-based configuration of computing system resource limits, accounting of resource usage, and enforcement of resource usage limits. Computing system resource limits can be set on an application, customer, or other basis, and usage limits can be placed on various system resources, such as files, ports, I/O devices, memory, and processing unit bandwidth. Resource usage accounting and resource limit enforcement can be implemented without the use of in-kernel control groups. The resource access control modules can be extended Berkeley Program Format (eBPF) Linux Security Module (LSM) programs linked to LSM hooks in the Linux operation system kernel.

Techniques for maintaining cache coherency comprising storing data blocks associated with a main process in a cache line of a main cache memory, storing a first local copy of the data blocks in a first local cache memory of a first processor, storing a second local copy of the set of data blocks in a second local cache memory of a second processor executing a first child process of the main process to generate first output data, writing the first output data to the first data block of the first local copy as a write through, writing the first output data to the first data block of the main cache memory as a part of the write through, transmitting an invalidate request to the second local cache memory, marking the second local copy of the set of data blocks as delayed, and transmitting an acknowledgment to the invalidate request.

Techniques including receiving configuration information for a trigger control channel of the one or more trigger control channels, the configuration information defining a first one or more triggering events, receiving a first memory management command, store the first memory management command, detecting a first one or more triggering events, and triggering the stored first memory management command based on the detected first one or more triggering events.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a memory system, a memory device, a memory controller and an operating method thereof. A partial mapping table including some of plural pieces of mapping information between physical addresses and logical addresses, which are included in a mapping table stored in the memory device, is cached, a piece of mapping information corresponding to data indicated by a command is referred to in the partial mapping table, and whether to perform an update for a reference-related parameter of the piece of mapping information is controlled depending on a size of the data, thereby improving cache efficiency for mapping informations for processing a request from a host and through this, increasing the success rate of a cache hit.

Techniques for accessing memory by a memory controller, comprising receiving, by the memory controller, a memory management command to perform a memory management operation at a virtual memory address, translating the virtual memory address to a physical memory address, wherein the physical memory address comprises an address within a cache memory, and outputting an instruction to the cache memory based on the memory management command and the physical memory address.

Techniques for accessing memory by a memory controller, comprising receiving, by the memory controller, a memory management command to perform a memory management operation at a virtual memory address, translating the virtual memory address to a physical memory address, wherein the physical memory address comprises an address within a cache memory, and outputting an instruction to the cache memory based on the memory management command and the physical memory address.

Techniques for loading data, comprising receiving a memory management command to perform a memory management operation to load data into the cache memory before execution of an instruction that requests the data, formatting the memory management command into one or more instruction for a cache controller associated with the cache memory, and outputting an instruction to the cache controller to load the data into the cache memory based on the memory management command.

A device includes a data path, a first interface configured to receive a first memory access request from a first peripheral device, and a second interface configured to receive a second memory access request from a second peripheral device. The device further includes an arbiter circuit configured to, in a first clock cycle, a pre-arbitration winner between a first memory access request and a second memory access request based on a first number of credits allocated to a first destination device and a second number of credits allocated to a second destination device. The arbiter circuit is further configured to, in a second clock cycle select a final arbitration winner from among the pre-arbitration winner and a subsequent memory access request based on a comparison of a priority of the pre-arbitration winner and a priority of the subsequent memory access request.
