Abstract:
Systems and methods of managing memory provide for detecting a request to activate a memory portion that is limited in size to a partial page size, where the partial page size is less than a full page size associated with the memory. In one embodiment, detecting the request may include identifying a row address and partial page address associated with the request, where the partial page address indicates that the memory portion is to be limited to the partial page size.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method comprising: receiving a content item request from a resource, the resource associated with a resource sponsor; verifying the content item request including filtering out spam requests and determining if the content item request is valid; for any invalid requests, providing a content item in response to the content item request that is in conformance with an existing definition provided by the resource sponsor; and presenting information related to invalid requests to the resource sponsor in a user interface, the user interface including tools for enabling the resource sponsor to automatically accept and validate a content item request so that subsequent requests of the same type are validated upon receipt.
Abstract:
A thermal management system is described which may be implemented on a semiconductor die. The system may include a thermal sensor thermally coupled to the die to sense the temperature of the die and generate an output representing the sensed temperature, and an adjustable compensation circuit coupled to the thermal sensor to compensate the thermal sensor output. The adjustable compensation circuit may be applied to the thermal sensor or to a threshold.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system to enable a partial refresh scheme for DRAM which includes specifying at least a refresh start value, or a refresh start value and a refresh end value, to reduce the number of rows that must be refreshed during a refresh cycle, thus reducing the amount of power consumed during refresh.
Abstract:
A system includes an image-capturing device to capture an image of a user in a viewing zone. When the user is a registered user, the system is to allow the user to view and hear one or more of the broadcast television programs and the broadcast radio programs based on the user profile information associated with the registered user. When the user is not a registered user, default user profile information may be used.
Abstract:
The temperature for multiple devices of a memory module are determined. In one example a memory module includes a printed circuit board, a plurality of memory chips on the printed circuit board, each chip containing a plurality of memory cells and a thermal sensor, and a multiplexer on the printed circuit board, independent of the memory chips, coupled to each of the thermal sensors. A current source is coupled to the multiplexer to provide a current to each one of the thermal sensors, and a voltage detector is coupled to the multiplexer to detect a voltage from each of the thermal sensors when a current is applied. A temperature circuit is coupled to the voltage detector to determine a temperature for each memory chip based on the detected voltage.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system are described in which a memory controller may have two or more registers to create and track zones of memory in a volatile memory device. The memory controller controls a power consumption state of a first zone of memory in the volatile memory device and a second zone of memory within the first volatile memory device on an individual basis; and one or more memory arrays contained within the first volatile memory device.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises upon entering a self-refresh mode, refreshing memory cells in a memory device at a first refresh frequency; and upon a predefined event refreshing the memory cells at a second refresh frequency, while in the self-refresh mode.
Abstract:
A toolkit for developing user-interfaces for a system administration program. The toolkit has a server-side application-programming interface (API). The server-side has task-registry files that each describe a task group. The toolkit also has a client-side API. A developer can customize product-specific properties files for a specific product and write code that calls the server-side and client-side APIs to create a graphical user interface for the specific product.
