    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for providing coincident memory bank access. One embodiment is a memory device comprising a first bank, a second bank, a first bank resource, and a second bank resource. The first bank has a first set of bitlines for accessing a first set of rows in a first memory cell array. The second bank has a second set of bitlines for accessing a second set of rows in a second memory cell array. The first bank resource and the second bank resource are selectively connected to the first set of bitlines or the second set of bitlines via a cross-connect switch.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to allocating memory resources of a computing device comprising non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM). An exemplary method is performed for every independently executable component of an application and includes determining attributes of the component. The method also includes associating the component with a memory profile of a plurality of memory profiles based on the attributes, wherein each memory profile of the plurality of memory profiles specifies a number of banks of the NVRAM and a number of banks of the DRAM. The method also includes causing the computing device to generate an assignment of the component to banks of the NVRAM and DRAM based on the memory profile associated with the component so the computing device can execute the component using the banks of the NVRAM and DRAM based on the assignment.

    Abstract: Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for implementing a cache maintenance or status operation for a component cache of a system cache. A computing device may generate a component cache configuration table, assign at least one component cache indicator of a component cache to a master of the component cache, and map at least one control register to the component cache indicator by a centralized control entity. The computing device may store the component cache indicator such that the component cache indicator is accessible by the master of the component cache for discovering a virtualized view of the system cache and issuing a cache maintenance or status command for the component cache bypassing the centralized control entity. The computing device may receive the cache maintenance or status command by a control register associated with a cache maintenance or status command and the component cache bypassing the centralized control entity.

    Abstract: Transferring data between memories may include reading data associated with a memory transfer transaction from a first memory, determining whether a bypass indication associated with the memory transfer transaction is asserted, and transferring the data from the first memory to a second memory. The transferring may include bypassing the first-processing if the bypass indication is asserted. The transferring may further include bypassing second-processing the data if the bypass indication is asserted. Following bypassing the second-processing, the data may be stored in the second memory.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for scheduling decompression of an application from flash storage. One embodiment of a system comprises a flash memory device and a preemptive decompression scheduler component. The preemptive decompression scheduler component comprises logic configured to generate and store metadata defining one or more dependent objects associated with the compressed application in response to an application installer component installing a compressed application to the flash memory device. In response to a launch of the compressed application by an application launcher component, the preemptive decompression scheduler component determines from the stored metadata the one or more dependent objects associated with the compressed application to be launched. The preemptive decompression scheduler component preemptively schedules decompression of the one or more dependent objects based on the stored metadata.
