Methods, systems, and devices related to domain-based access in a memory device are described. In one example, a memory device in accordance with the described techniques may include a memory array, a sense amplifier array, and a signal development cache configured to store signals (e.g., cache signals, signal states) associated with logic states (e.g., memory states) that may be stored at the memory array (e.g., according to various read or write operations). The memory array may be organized according to domains, which may refer to various configurations or collections of access lines, and selections thereof, of different portions of the memory array. In various examples, a memory device may determine a plurality of domains for a received access command, or an order for accessing a plurality of domains for a received access command, or combinations thereof, based on an availability of the signal development cache.

A caching system including a first sub-cache and a second sub-cache in parallel with the first sub-cache, wherein the second sub-cache includes a set of cache lines, line type bits configured to store an indication that a corresponding cache line of the set of cache lines is configured to store write-miss data, and an eviction controller configured to flush stored write-miss data based on the line type bits.

A processing device in a memory system determines to send system state information associated with the memory device to a host system and identifies a subset of a plurality of event entries from a staging buffer based on one or more filtering factors, the plurality of event entries corresponding to events associated with the memory device. The processing device further sends the subset of the plurality of event entries as the system state information to the host system over a communication pipe having limited bandwidth.

A method for compressing data in a local cache of a web server is described. A local cache compression engine accesses values in the local cache and determines a cardinality of the values of the local cache. The local cache compression engine determines a compression rate of a compression algorithm based on the cardinality of the values of the local cache. The compression algorithm is applied to the cache based on the compression rate to generate a compressed local cache.

A queuing requester for access to a memory system is provided. Transaction requests are received from two or more requestors for access to the memory system. Each transaction request includes an associated priority value. A request queue of the received transaction requests is formed in the queuing requester. Each transaction request includes an associated priority value. A highest priority value of all pending transaction requests within the request queue is determined. An elevated priority value is selected when the highest priority value is higher than the priority value of an oldest transaction request in the request queue; otherwise the priority value of the oldest transaction request is selected. The oldest transaction request in the request queue with the selected priority value is then provided to the memory system. An arbitration contest with other requesters for access to the memory system is performed using the selected priority value.

Methods, computer program products, and/or systems are provided that perform the following operations: setting a memory buffer having contiguous memory blocks; obtaining a decision tree comprising nodes including split nodes and leaf nodes, wherein each of the split nodes includes at least two child nodes that are ordered according to a likelihood of accessing a child node after each of the split nodes; mapping the nodes onto respective blocks of the memory blocks, each of the memory blocks storing attributes of a corresponding one of the nodes, wherein each of the split nodes and any child nodes of each split node are mapped onto successive blocks, wherein ordered child nodes of a same one of the split nodes are mapped onto successive blocks; executing the nodes by processing the attributes of the nodes as accessed from the memory according to an order of the memory blocks in the memory buffer.

The present disclosure advantageously provides a system cache and a method for storing coherent data and non-coherent data in a system cache. A transaction is received from a source in a system, the transaction including at least a memory address, the source having a location in a coherent domain or a non-coherent domain of the system, the coherent domain including shareable data and the non-coherent domain including non-shareable data. Whether the memory address is stored in a cache line is determined, and, when the memory address is not determined to be stored in a cache line, a cache line is allocated to the transaction including setting a state bit of the allocated cache line based on the source location to indicate whether shareable or non-shareable data is stored in the allocated cache line, and the transaction is processed.

A versioning group cache system uses cache keys which each include, amongst other things, version information and a group key. When a cache key is first updated to include these, the cache system determines the group key and adds version information thereto to produce the cache key, which is mapped to cached data. When the cache key is later updated, the version information is updated to produce an updated cache key which is mapped to the cached data. The cache key updating is in response to a change request received at the cache system. The change request includes a command processable at the cache system in connection with cached data and/or cache keys. For example, the change request may be a request for a batch deletion of cache keys. The versioning group cache system fulfills the change requests with efficient use of system resources.

A graphics processing system is disclosed having a cache system (24) arranged between memory (23) and the graphics processor (20), the cache system comprising a first cache (53) for transferring data to and from the graphics processor (20) and a second cache (54) arranged and configured to transfer data between the first cache (53) and memory (23). When data is to be written from the first cache (53) to memory (23), a cache controller (55) determines a data type of the data and, in dependence on the data type, either causes the data to be written into the second cache (54) without writing the data to memory (23), or causes the data to be written to memory (23) without storing the data in the second cache (54). In embodiments the second cache (54) is write-only allocated.

A memory device for storing data comprises a memory bank comprising a plurality of addressable memory cells, wherein the memory bank is divided into a plurality of segments. The memory device also comprises a cache memory operable for storing a second plurality of data words, wherein further each data word of the second plurality of data words is either awaiting write verification or is to be re-written into the memory bank. The cache memory is divided into a plurality of primary segments, wherein each primary segment of the cache memory is direct mapped to a corresponding segment of the plurality of segments of the memory bank, wherein each primary segment of the plurality of primary segments of the cache memory is sub-divided into a plurality of secondary segments, and each of the plurality of secondary segments comprises at least one counter for tracking a number of valid entries stored therein.
