A PCIe-based communications method includes: a root complex writes identity information of a second node into a first node and writes routing table information into a third node, where the first node is a source node of first data, the second node is a destination node of the first data, and the third node is a node through which the first data arrives at the second node.

A method for managing a memory system may include monitoring one or more accesses of a page of memory, determining, based on the monitoring, an access pattern of the page of memory, and selecting, based on the access pattern, a coherency bias for the page of memory. The monitoring may include maintaining an indication of the one or more accesses. The determining may include comparing the indication to a threshold. Maintaining the indication may include changing the indication in a first manner based on an access of the page of memory by a first apparatus. Maintaining the indication may include changing the indication in a second manner based on an access of the page of memory by a second apparatus. The first manner may counteract the second manner.

An average inter-pulse delay of a data unit of the memory device is calculated. An average temperature of the data unit is calculated. A first scaling factor based on the average inter-pulse delay and a second scaling factor based on the average temperature is obtained. A media management metric based on the first scaling factor and the second scaling factor is calculated. Responsive to determining that the media management metric satisfies a media management criterion, a media management operation on the data unit at a predetermined cycle count is performed.

A method and apparatus for systems and methods for digital signal processing (DSP) in a non-volatile memory (NVM) device comprising CMOS coupled to NVM die, of a data storage device. According to certain embodiments, one or more DSP calculations are provided by a controller to the CMOS components of the NVM, that configure one or more memory die to carry out atomic calculations on the data resident on the die. The results of calculations of each die are provided to an output latch for each die, back-propagating data back to the configured calculation portion as needed, otherwise forwarding the results to the controller. The controller aggregates the results of DSP calculations of each die and presents the results to the host system.

An embodiment of an integrated circuit comprises circuitry to generate a cache tag for data to be stored in a cache memory, store a first portion of the cache tag in a primary tag memory, and store a second portion of the cache tag in a secondary tag memory, wherein a size of the first portion is smaller than a size of the second portion. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

A throttling engine throttles access to a high latency hybrid memory. A request is received for partition mapping of a virtual address for an R/W memory page. An entry is added to a partition page table that maps a virtual address to a physical address and comprises access information that is R/W. A throttled flag is set in an entry of a partition page extension table. The throttle entry corresponds to the entry. The access information is saved in an original access part of the partition page extension table, and the access information is replaced with an R value. Upon application fault receipt, a throttling test is performed on an address of the application fault. If the throttling test is false, the fault is passed through to an operating system fault handler and the throttling fault stage is ended, otherwise, a delay is implemented for slowing access to the memory.

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to a memory protocol with programmable buffer and cache size. An example apparatus can program a resister to define a size of a buffer in memory, store data in the buffer in a first portion of the memory defined by the register, and store data in a cache in a second portion of the memory.

Techniques for implementing user-space remote memory paging are provided. In one set of embodiments, these techniques include a user-space remote memory paging (RMP) runtime that can: (1) pre-allocate one or more regions of remote memory for use by an application; (2) at a time of receiving/intercepting a memory allocation function call invoked by the application, map the virtual memory address range of the allocated local memory to a portion of the pre-allocated remote memory; (3) at a time of detecting a page fault directed to a page that is mapped to remote memory, retrieve the page via Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) from its remote memory location and store the retrieved page in a local main memory cache; and (4) on a periodic basis, identify pages in the local main memory cache that are candidates for eviction and write out the identified pages via RDMA to their mapped remote memory locations if they have been modified.

Technologies for scrambling functions in a column-addressable memory architecture includes a device having a memory and a circuitry. The memory includes a matrix storing individually addressable bit data, and the matrix is formed by rows and columns. The circuitry is to receive a request to perform a write operation of one or more bit values to one of the columns. The circuitry is further to determine a scrambler state at each location of the column, the location corresponding to a respective row and column index. The scrambler state is indicative of a function used to determine a value at the respective column location. Each of the bit values is scrambled as a function of the scrambler state for the respective column location and written thereto.

A memory device includes: a memory array used for implementing neural networks (NN), the NN including a plurality of layers; and a controller coupled to the memory array, the controller being configured for: determining a computation duration of a first data of a first layer of the plurality of layers; selecting a first program operation if the computation duration of the first data of the first layer is shorter than a threshold; and selecting a second program operation if the computation duration of the first data of the first layer is longer than the threshold, wherein the second program operation has a longer program pulse time than the first program operation.
