CACHE MEMORY SYSTEM AND CACHE MEMORY CONTROL METHOD
20230214328 · 2023-07-06 · ·

According to one embodiment, a cache memory system includes a cache memory and a cache controller. The cache memory can store first data to be read or written by a processor. The cache controller is configured to execute a refresh. The refresh includes reading the first data stored in the cache memory and writing the read first data to the cache memory. When executing the refresh, the cache controller is configured to exchange the first data stored in a first area of the cache memory for second data stored in a second area of the cache memory.

Dynamically sized redundant write buffer with sector-based tracking
11550725 · 2023-01-10 · ·

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include detecting an operation to write dirty data to a cache. The cache is divided into a plurality of channels. In response to the operation, the dirty data is written to a first cache line in the cache, the first cache line being accessed via a first channel. Additionally, a redundant copy of the dirty data is written to a second cache line in the cache. The second cache line serves as a redundant write buffer and is accessed via a second channel, the first and second channels differing from one another. A metadata entry for the second cache line is updated to reference a location of the dirty data in the first cache line.

Apparatuses and methods for cache operations

The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for cache operations. An example apparatus includes a memory device including a plurality of subarrays of memory cells, where the plurality of subarrays includes a first subset of the respective plurality of subarrays and a second subset of the respective plurality of subarrays. The memory device includes sensing circuitry coupled to the first subset, the sensing circuitry including a sense amplifier and a compute component. The first subset is configured as a cache to perform operations on data moved from the second subset. The apparatus also includes a cache controller configured to direct a first movement of a data value from a subarray in the second subset to a subarray in the first subset.

Technologies for assigning workloads to balance multiple resource allocation objectives

Technologies for allocating resources of managed nodes to workloads to balance multiple resource allocation objectives include an orchestrator server to receive resource allocation objective data indicative of multiple resource allocation objectives to be satisfied. The orchestrator server is additionally to determine an initial assignment of a set of workloads among the managed nodes and receive telemetry data from the managed nodes. The orchestrator server is further to determine, as a function of the telemetry data and the resource allocation objective data, an adjustment to the assignment of the workloads to increase an achievement of at least one of the resource allocation objectives without decreasing an achievement of another of the resource allocation objectives, and apply the adjustments to the assignments of the workloads among the managed nodes as the workloads are performed. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Domain-based access in a memory device

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.
