    摘要: A computer system includes a hard disk drive, a processor coupled to the hard disk drive, and a cache interface coupled to the processor and detachably connectable to a cache memory. The processor is adapted, subsequent to an initial interrogation of the cache interface, to determine whether the cache memory is connected to the cache interface by inspecting an indication of the presence or the absence of the cache memory, the indication being stored in a register in the processor or in a memory associated with the processor such that the inspecting avoids repeat interrogation of the cache interface, to communicate with the cache memory and the hard disk drive such that the processor has access to the cache memory when the cache memory is connected to the cache interface, and to communicate with the hard disk drive when the cache memory is disconnected from the cache interface.

    摘要: A method for data storage includes storing two or more data items in a non-volatile memory. Redundancy information is calculated over the data items, and the redundancy information is stored in a volatile memory. Upon a failure to retrieve a data item from the non-volatile memory, the data item is reconstructed from remaining data items stored in the non-volatile memory and from the redundancy information stored in the volatile memory.

    摘要: A method executed by a circuit for counting electrons in storage cells in an array of at least two storage cells is provided. The method includes providing a storage array of at least two storage cells, and each of said at least two storage cells containing an unknown amount of electrons. A receiving array of at least two receiving cells is provided, where said at least two receiving cells initially contain no electrons. Then, extracting a layer of said electrons from said storage array of cells and inserting said layer into corresponding locations in said receiving array. The method then repeats said steps of extracting and inserting while at least one of said at least two storage cells is not empty. The method counts, for each said storage cell in said storage array, a productive-extraction amount.

    摘要: A card vending machine includes a storage area, wherein each of a plurality of memory cards to be issued by a respective one of at least two different issuers are stored. A security mechanism conditions access of each issuer to only a respective portion of the storage area upon authorization of this issuer. An interface mechanism is operated by a user to define a purchasing transaction and a controller is operative, in accordance with the interface mechanism, to customize a memory card at least in part according to the purchasing transaction.

    摘要: A method for managing a memory device, a memory device so managed and a system that includes such a memory device. A value of a longevity parameter of the device is monitored after a data operation on the device in which the monitoring is performed by the device. A grade of the device is derived from the value. Preferred longevity parameters include a ratio of successfully-processed data to unsuccessfully-processed data and a deviation in a power consumption of the device. The grade serves as a forecast of a life expectancy of the memory. Preferred grades include: a comparison grade, a maximum grade, and an average grade.
