    摘要: Systems and methods for providing dynamic memory pre-fetch. Embodiments include a hub device including an input command stream interface and an adaptive pre-fetch logical unit (APLU). The input command stream interface detects commands from a memory controller directed to one or more memory devices that are connected to the hub device. The APLU independently analyzes the commands to determine access patterns to the memory devices. The APLU also dynamically selects between enabling a pre-fetch function and disabling the pre-fetch function for the memory devices based on the results of the analysis.

The MBIST apparatus includes a finite state machine including a command generator and logic for incrementing data and addresses under test and a command scheduler in communication with the finite state machine. The command scheduler includes resource allocation logic for spacing commands to memory dynamically utilizing DRAM timing parameters. The MBIST apparatus also includes a test memory storing subtests of an MBIST test. Each of the subtests provides a full pass through a configured address range. The MBIST apparatus further includes a subtest pointer in communication with the test memory and the finite state machine. The finite state machine implements subtest sequencing of each of the subtests via the subtest pointer.

    摘要: A memory subsystem package has a memory controller interface ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) and a plurality of Memory modules. The ASIC has a bi-directional serial protocol i2C communication bus to off chip drivers for monitoring temperature and for adjusting the environment surrounding the package by controlling fans using fan switches and variable voltage controls. In addition there is provided an Alternating Current Built in Self Test (AC BIST) with variable data receiver voltage reference for performing high-speed AC memory subsystem self-test for that ASIC enabling writing of pseudo-random patterns to memory, reading them back and comparing the expected results at hardware speeds. Vref can be made to vary across its allowable range during AC self test to provide improved coverage. The system monitors Vddq during normal system operation using an ADC. The system varies Vref as a function of Vddq, using a combination of a DAC and ADC. The system varies Vref as a function of Vddq, such that Vref=1/m*Vddq+OFFSET, where m can be 1, 2, 4, or 8, and where OFFSET can be positive or negative ranging from 1/n * Vddq to n−1/n*Vddq, where n is the voltage granularity of the DAC.
