A supervisor on a destination host receives a request to migrate an application from a source host to the destination host and determines a total amount of memory associated with the application on the source host. The supervisor on the destination host allocates one or more memory pages in a page table on the destination host to satisfy the total amount of memory associated with the application on the source host, where the one or more memory pages are to be associated with the application on the destination host. Responsive to determining that the one or more memory pages have been allocated on the destination host, the supervisor on the destination host initiates migration of the application from the source host to the destination host.

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include receiving a plurality of read operations. The read operations are divided into a current set of a sequence of read operations and one or more other sets. The size of the current set is a first number of read operations. An aggressor read operation is selected from the current set. A first data integrity scan is performed on a victim of the aggressor and a first indicator of data integrity is determined based on the first data integrity scan. A scaling factor is determined using the indicator of data integrity and a number of program erase cycles for the portion of memory. The set size of read operations is adjusted to a second number of read operations using the scaling factor for a subsequent set.

Embodiments described herein are generally directed to selective multithreaded execution of memory training by CPU sockets. In an example, a memory configuration and a current phase of execution of memory training for each of multiple CPU sockets of a computer system is received. Based on the memory configuration and the current phase of execution of each of the CPU sockets an estimated power usage across all CPU sockets may be determined. Based on the estimated power usage and a power consumption threshold (e.g., PTAM or PA), performance of the current phase of execution of one or more CPU sockets may be selectively released for one or more channels of the one or more CPU sockets.

A memory controller component of a memory system stores memory access requests within a transaction queue until serviced so that, over time, the transaction queue alternates between occupied and empty states. The memory controller transitions the memory system to a low power mode in response to detecting the transaction queue is has remained in the empty state for a predetermined time. In the transition to the low power mode, the memory controller disables oscillation of one or more timing signals required to time data signaling operations within synchronous communication circuits of one or more attached memory devices and also disables one or more power consuming circuits within the synchronous communication circuits of the one or more memory devices.

A system including a stack of two or more layers of volatile memory, such as layers of a 3D stacked DRAM memory, places data in the stack based on a temperature or a refresh rate. When a threshold is exceeded, data are moved from a first region to a second region in the stack, the second region having one or both of a second temperature lower than a first temperature of the first region or a second refresh rate lower than a first refresh rate of the first region.

A method of operating a storage means, wherein for writing and storing a storage item to the storage means the storage item to be written and stored—in particular by using the concept and theory of identification—is provided, a encoding process by means of randomization is applied to the storage item to generate and to provide a randomized encoded storage item, and the randomized encoded storage item is written and stored to the storage means. At least a first randomization process is underlying the encoding process and is a randomization process dedicated and assigned to the underlying storage means. The present disclosure further refers to a unit for operating a storage means, to a storage means and to a system for processing data. By having two randomization processes underlying the encoding process, a distinction can be made between a secrecy insuring and secrecy non-ensuring randomization processes.

Data memory protection is provided for a signal processing system such as a radar system in which the data memory is protected with a common set of parity bits rather than requiring a set of parity bits for each memory word as in Error Correction Coded (ECC) memories. The common set of parity bits may be updated as memory words in the data memory are accessed as part of signal processing of one or more digital signals. The memory protection ensures that in the absence of memory errors the common parity bits are zero at the end of processing the digital signals as long as each word in the data memory that is used for storing the signal processing data is written and read an equal number of times.

A method for managing memory within a computing system. The method includes one or more computer processors identifying a range of physical memory addresses that store a first data. The method further includes determining whether a second data is stored within the range of physical memory addresses that stores the first data. The method further includes responding to determining that the second data is stored within the range of physical memory addresses that store the first data, by determining whether a process accessing the second data is identified as associated with a side-channel attack. The method further includes responding to determining that the process accessing the second data is associated with the side-channel attack, by initiating a response associated with the process accessing the second data.

Examples include a method of live migrating a virtual device by creating a virtual device in a virtual machine, creating first and second interfaces for the virtual device, transferring data over the first interface, detecting a disconnection of the virtual device from the virtual machine, switching data transfers for the virtual device from the first interface to the second interface, detecting a reconnection of the virtual device to the virtual machine, and switching data transfers for the virtual device from the second interface to the first interface.

A processor of a memory sub-system can select a data retention profile from among a plurality of data retention profiles corresponding to the memory device. The processor can also adjust a wear life indicator based on the selected data retention profile.
