ARRAY ACCESS WITH RECEIVER MASKING
Methods, systems, and devices for array access with receiver masking are described. A first device may issue to a second device a first sequence of write commands for a set of data. The first sequence of write commands may indicate different memory addresses in an order. After issuing the first sequence of write commands, the first device may issue to the second device a second sequence of read commands for the set of data. The second sequence of read commands may indicate the different memory addresses in the same order as the first sequence of write commands. Based on issuing the second sequence of read commands, the first device may receive the set of data from the second device.
Semiconductor memory device and operating method thereof
A semiconductor memory device includes a memory region including a plurality of memory blocks, and suitable for outputting first and second read data from first and second memory blocks among the plurality of memory blocks based on first and second read control signals and a read address signal; a scheduler suitable for outputting a read scheduling signal based on the first and second read control signals; and an output driver suitable for outputting the first and second read data by a predetermined burst length alternately twice or more to a data pad based on a mode signal, wherein the first read data are outputted to the data pad according to a first burst sequence, and the second read data are outputted to the data pad according to a second burst sequence, based on the read scheduling signal.
Local internal discovery and configuration of individually selected and jointly selected devices
A memory controller interfaces with one or more memory devices having configurable width data buses and configurable connectivity between data pins of the memory devices and data pins of the memory controller. Upon initialization of the memory devices, the memory controller automatically discovers the connectivity configuration of the one or more memory devices, including both individually selected and jointly selected devices. After discovering connectivity of the connected devices, the memory controller configures the memory devices according to the discovered connectivity and assigns unique addresses to jointly selected devices.

The embodiments of the disclosed technology relate to a controller and operating method thereof. Based on some embodiments of the disclosed technology, the controller may include i) a first memory configured to store map data including a plurality of map data entries, ii) a second memory configured to store map search data indicating a first map data entry, which corresponds to a first logical address, among the plurality of map data entries, and iii) a core configured to search for information on a physical address mapped to a second logical address from the map data, based on whether the map search data is stored in the second memory.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF SEQUENTIAL LOGGING IN A STORAGE DEVICE
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a storage device to receive, from a computing host, a request to append data to a data log. The storage device is further to identify a memory location after a last segment of the data log, append the data to the data log by writing the data to the memory location after the last segment of the data log, and provide, to the computing host, a key comprising an identification of the memory location at which the data was appended to the data log.
CACHE MEMORY, MEMORY SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
A cache memory includes a first cache area corresponding to even addresses, and a second cache area corresponding to odd addresses, wherein each of the first and second cache areas includes a plurality of cache sets, and each cache set includes a data set field suitable for storing data corresponding to an address among the even and odd addresses, and a pair field suitable for storing information on a location where data corresponding to an adjacent address which is adjacent to an address corresponding to the stored data is stored.
Memory module, error correction method of memory controller controlling the same, and computing system including the same
A memory module includes first memory chips, each having a first input/output width, and configured to store data, a second memory chip having a second input/output width and configured to store an error correction code for correcting an error in the data, and a driver circuit configured to receive a clock signal, a command, and an address from a memory controller and to transmit the clock signal, the command, and the address to the first memory chips and the second memory chip. An address depth of each of the first memory chips and an address depth of the second memory chip are different from each other.
Region descriptor management method and electronic apparatus thereof
A region descriptor management method and an electronic apparatus are provided. The region descriptor management method is adapted to a device controller of the electronic apparatus and includes following steps. Region descriptor entries are fetched from a region descriptor table. Each of the region descriptor entries includes a block initial address and a block length to describe a memory block of a memory module. According to the block initial addresses and the block lengths of the region descriptor entries, a portion of the region descriptor entries are adjusted to be at least one current region descriptor entry. Based on the at least one current region descriptor entry, a current region descriptor table is generated.
SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF A HASH TABLE
The system contains at least one basic block formed by a first multiplexer having an output is connected to a flag register memory, implemented as a LUT table. An output of a circuit for write permit to the memory is connected to the input of the write signal to the memory, which is further equipped with the clock signal input and the data input. The data output from the memory of each basic block is connected to a masking block relevant for the given basic block. The outputs of these masking blocks are connected to the inputs of the second multiplexer, while its output is the output of the system of flags. The input of the control signal for writing to the memory of each basic block is connected to the output of the demultiplexer and to the second input of the masking block for the given basic block.
Address Space Expander for a Processor
An address range expander associated with a processor and a physical memory device determines that address transformation has been enabled with respect to an address indicated on the processor's address bus. The expander generates, using one or more address expansion parameter registers, a transformed address corresponding to the untransformed address within an address range of the physical memory device, and transmits the transformed address to a controller of the physical memory device.
