Quasi-volatile system-level memory
A high-capacity system memory may be built from both quasi-volatile (QV) memory circuits, logic circuits, and static random-access memory (SRAM) circuits. Using the SRAM circuits as buffers or cache for the QV memory circuits, the system memory may achieve access latency performance of the SRAM circuits and may be used as code memory. The system memory is also capable of direct memory access (DMA) operations and includes an arithmetic logic unit for performing computational memory tasks. The system memory may include one or more embedded processor. In addition, the system memory may be configured for multi-channel memory accesses by multiple host processors over multiple host ports. The system memory may be provided in the dual-in-line memory module (DIMM) format.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CACHE-COHERENCE
The present disclosure provides methods, apparatuses, and servers for cache-coherence. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a plurality of compute express link (CXL) devices, and a switch. Each CXL device of the plurality of CXL devices includes a memory in which a portion of the memory is allocated as a cache buffer, to which different cache eviction policies are allocated. The different cache eviction policies are modified according to a cache hit ratio of the cache buffer. The switch is configured to connect the plurality of CXL devices to each other.
Phase change memory in a dual inline memory module
Subject matter disclosed herein relates to management of a memory device.
Nonvolatile memory device and operation method thereof
A nonvolatile memory device includes a nonvolatile memory, a volatile memory being a cache memory of the nonvolatile memory, and a first controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile memory device further includes a second controller configured to receive a device write command and an address, and transmit, to the volatile memory through a first bus, a first read command and the address and a first write command and the address sequentially, and transmit a second write command and the address to the first controller through a second bus, in response to the reception of the device write command and the address.

Memory access methods and apparatus
A disclosed example apparatus includes a row address register (412) to store a row address corresponding to a row (608) in a memory array (602). The example apparatus also includes a row decoder (604) coupled to the row address register to assert a signal on a wordline (704) of the row after the memory receives a column address. In addition, the example apparatus includes a column decoder (606) to selectively activate a portion of the row based on the column address and the signal asserted on the wordline.
System and method of page buffer operation for memory devices
Systems and methods are provided for using page buffers of memory devices connected to a memory controller through a common bus. A page buffer of a memory device is used as a temporary cache for data which is written to the memory cells of the memory device. This can allow the memory controller to use memory devices as temporary caches so that the memory controller can free up space in its own memory.
Vector processor storage
A method comprising: receiving, at a vector processor, a request to store data; performing, by the vector processor, one or more transforms on the data; and directly instructing, by the vector processor, one or more storage device to store the data; wherein performing one or more transforms on the data comprises: erasure encoding the data to generate n data fragments configured such that any k of the data fragments are usable to regenerate the data, where k is less than n; and wherein directly instructing one or more storage device to store the data comprises: directly instructing the one or more storage devices to store the plurality of data fragments.
DELAYED WRITE-BACK IN MEMORY
A memory having a delayed write-back to the array of data corresponding to a previously opened page allows delays associated with write-back operations to be avoided. After an initial activation opens a first page and the read/write operations for that page are complete, write-back of the open page to the array of memory cells is delayed until after completion of a subsequent activate operation that opens a new page. Techniques to force a write-back in the absence of another activate operation are also disclosed.
Volatile read cache in a content addressable storage system
A distributed storage system comprises a first module and a second module. The first module processes read requests for an address range, to send to the second module. The first module receives an address associated with a read request for a data page stored on the second module. A method searches a table on the first module for a content-based signature of the data page based on the address and provides the data page from a first module read cache if the content-based signature is in the read cache, where content-based signatures in the table are associated with the address range.
