    Abstract: In a multirank memory system in which the clock distribution trees of each rank are permitted to drift over a wide range (e.g., low power memory systems), the fine-interleaving of commands between ranks is facilitated through the use of techniques that cause each addressed rank to properly sample commands intended for that rank, notwithstanding the drift. The ability to perform such “microthreading” provides for substantially enhanced memory capacity without sacrificing the performance of single rank systems. This disclosure provides methods, memory controllers, memory devices and system designs adapted to these ends.

    Abstract: A memory module having reduced access granularity. The memory module includes a substrate having signal lines thereon that form a control path and first and second data paths, and further includes first and second memory devices coupled in common to the control path and coupled respectively to the first and second data paths. The first and second memory devices include control circuitry to receive respective first and second memory access commands via the control path and to effect concurrent data transfer on the first and second data paths in response to the first and second memory access commands.

    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory controller with a plurality N of memory-controller blocks, each of which conveys independent transaction requests over external request ports. The request ports are coupled, via point-to-point connections, to from one to N memory devices, each of which includes N independently addressable memory blocks. All of the external request ports are connected to respective external request ports on the memory device or devices used in a given configuration. The number of request ports per memory device and the data width of each memory device changes with the number of memory devices such that the ratio of the request-access granularity to the data granularity remains constant irrespective of the number of memory devices.

    Abstract: A memory controller encrypts contents of a page frame based at least in part on a frame key associated with the page frame. The memory controller generates a first encrypted version of the frame key based at least in part on a first process key associated with a first process, wherein the first encrypted version of the frame key is stored in a first memory table associated with the first process. The memory controller generates a second encrypted version of the frame key based at least in part on a second process key associated with a second process, wherein the second encrypted version of the frame key is stored in a second memory table associated with the second process, the first process and the second process sharing access to the page frame using the first encrypted version of the frame key and the second encrypted version of the frame key, respectively.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a memory controller are described. This memory controller includes signal connectors, which are electrically coupled to a communication path that includes multiple links, and an interface circuit, which is electrically coupled to the signal connectors. In a first operating mode, the interface circuit communicates with a first memory device via the communication path using spatial multiplexing, in which there are dedicated command/address links and dedicated data links in the communication path. Moreover, in a second operating mode, the interface circuit communicates with a second memory device via the communication path using time multiplexing, in which at least some of the links in the communication path time interleave command/address information and data.

    Abstract: Described are systems and method for protecting data and instructions shared over a memory bus and stored in memory. Independent and separately timed stream ciphers for write and read channels allow timing variations between write and read transactions. Data and instructions can be separately encrypted prior to channel encryption to further secure the information. pad generators and related cryptographic circuits are shared for read and write data, and to secure addresses. The cryptographic circuits can support variable data widths, and in some embodiments memory devices incorporate security circuitry that can implement a shared-key algorithm using repurposed memory circuitry.
