    摘要: In an embodiment, a method of processing memory requests in a first processing device is provided. The method includes generating a memory request associated with a memory address located in an unpinned memory space managed by an operating system running on a second processing device; and responsive to a determination that the memory address is not resident in a physical memory, transmitting a message to the second processing device. In response to the message, the operating system controls the second processing device to bring the memory address into the physical memory.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein include a method and system for synchronizing clocks between coupled integrated circuits (ICs) in a computer system. According to an embodiment, a dedicated timing pin is provided on a first IC. The first IC configures a second IC to change a pin assignment, so that the second IC interprets a signal sent on the timing pin by the first IC and received on the reassigned pin as a request to transmit a return signal. The return signal is received on the timing pin. The return signal is used to determine whether timing should be adjusted by the first IC. In an embodiment a clock and data recover (CDR) circuit compares the signal sent to the signal received in order to make the determination. In an embodiment the first IC is a processor-based device, and the second IC is a memory device controlled by the first device.

    摘要: When content, such as premium video or audio, is decoded, the content is stored in protected memory segments. Read access to the protected memory segments from a component not in a frame buffer protected (FBP) mode is blocked by a memory controller. The memory controller also blocks components in the FBP mode from writing to unprotected memory segments. The content may be processed by a processing engine operating in the FBP mode and may only be written back to protected memory segments. The memory segment may later be marked as unprotected if the memory segment is no longer needed. If the content is encrypted in protected memory, the encrypting key associated with the memory segment may be removed. If the content is stored in the clear, the protected memory segments are scrubbed before releasing the segments for use as unprotected memory segments.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for adjusting write timing in a memory device based on results of an error detection function. For instance, the method can include determining a write timing window between a signal on a data bus and a write clock signal based on the results of the error detection function. The method can also include adjusting a phase difference between the signal on the data bus and the write clock signal based on the write timing window. The memory device can recover data on the data bus based on the adjusted phase difference.
