Abstract:
Devices and methods may be used to append a scalable (1) of parity bits in a data packet that scales with a number of data bits in a payload of the data packet. The parity bits may be generated utilizing a table of entries. In some examples, each entry in the table corresponds to a number of the data bits to be included in the payload; and each column of the table may be used to generate a corresponding parity bit of the one or more parity bits.
Abstract:
A device includes a pattern-recognition processor. The pattern recognition processor includes blocks, such that each of the blocks include a plurality of feature cells configured to analyze at least a portion of data to be analyzed and to selectively provide a result of the analysis. The pattern recognition processor also includes block deactivation logic configured to dynamically power-down the block.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for adaptive control of memory are disclosed. One example apparatus includes a processing unit configured to run an operating system, and a memory coupled to the processing unit. The memory configured to communicate with the processing unit via a memory bus. The example apparatus may further include an adaptive memory controller configured to receive monitored statistical data from the memory and from the processing unit. The adaptive memory controller is configured to manage the memory based on the monitored statistical data.
Abstract:
A method may include transmitting, via a processor, a plurality of packets to a receiving component, such that the plurality of packets corresponds to a plurality of data operations configured to access a memory component. The plurality of packets is stored in a buffer of the receiving component upon receipt. The method may also include determining, via the processor, whether an available capacity of the buffer is less than a threshold, decreasing a transmission rate of the plurality of packets when the available capacity is less than the threshold.
Abstract:
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for correcting recurring errors in memory. A number of embodiments include determining whether a first subset of a group of memory cells has a recurring error associated therewith using a second subset of the group of memory cells, and responsive to a determination that the first subset of the group of memory cells has a recurring error associated therewith, correcting the recurring error using the second subset of the group of memory cells.
Abstract:
A memory device includes a memory component that store data. The memory device also includes a processor that receives a signal indicating that the memory component is coupled to the processor and retrieves information from the memory component. The information may include one or more algorithms capable of being performed by the memory component. The processor may then receive one or more packets associated with one or more data operations regarding the memory component. The processor may then perform the one or more data operations by using the memory component to employ the one or more algorithms.

Abstract:
A DRAM device includes an ECC generator/checker that generates ECC syndromes corresponding to items of data stored in the DRAM device, The DRAM device also includes an ECC controller that causes the ECC syndromes to be stored in the DRAM device. The ECC controller also causes a flag bit having a first value to be stored in the DRAM device when a corresponding ECC syndrome is stored. The ECC controller changes the flag bit to a second value whenever the corresponding data bits are modified, this indicating that the stored syndrome no longer corresponds to the stored data. In such case, the ECC controller causes a new ECC syndrome to be generated and stored, and the corresponding flag bit is reset to the first value. The flag bits may be checked in this manner during a reduced power refresh to ensure that the stored syndromes correspond to the stored data.
Abstract:
A memory device includes a memory component that stores data and a processor. The processor may receive requests from a requesting component to perform a plurality of data operations, generate a plurality of packets associated with the plurality of data operations, and continuously transmit each of the plurality of packets until each of the plurality of packets are transmitted. Each of the plurality of packets after the first packet of the plurality of packets is transmitted on a subsequent clock cycle immediately after a previous packet is transmitted.
