摘要:
In some embodiments, data may be transferred from a first memory agent to a second memory agent in a first format having a first width, and at least a critical portion of the data maybe transferred from the second memory agent back to the first memory agent in a second format having a second width, where the critical portion is included in a first frame. The critical portion may include a cacheline mapped over a memory device rank. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In some embodiments, a chip includes memory banks and data ports, including at least first and second data ports, coupled to the memory banks. The chip also includes control circuitry to control a configuration of the first data port to be in one of multiple configurations in response to a configuration command, wherein the available configurations for the first data port include at least two of the following: whether the first data port (1) may only be used for read transactions, (2) may only be used for write transactions, or (3) may be used for either read or write transactions while in the configuration. Other embodiments are described.
摘要:
The invention comprises an apparatus and method of prefetching from a memory device having interleaved channels. The chipset prefetcher comprises a stride detector to detect a stride in a stream, a prefetch injector to insert prefetches onto the memory device, a channel mapper to map the prefetches to each channel of the memory device, a scheduler to schedule the prefetches onto the memory device in a DRAM-state aware manner, a throttling heuristic to scale the number of prefetches, and a prefetch data buffer to store prefetch data. The method of prefetching comprises tracking the state of streams, detecting a stride on one of the streams, selecting the stream with the stride for prefetch injection, enqueueing prefetches from the selected stream, mapping the prefetches to each of the interleaved channels, injecting the prefetches from the selected stream into each of the interleaved channels, and scheduling the prefetches onto the memory device in a DRAM-state aware manner.
摘要:
Apparatus and method to implicitly transmit a command to close a row of memory cells within a memory device as part of the transmission of an activate command to open another row of memory cells within the memory device.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for using a precharge command in which a plurality of address lines are individually used to specify which banks of memory cells within a memory device have an open row that is to be closed.
摘要:
Apparatus and method to select write transactions and to selectively mark a write transaction with a page closing hint to cause the page in a memory device to which the write transaction is directed to be closed immediately after the write transaction is carried out if no other write transaction is found in a buffer of pending write transactions that is directed to the same rank, bank and page to minimize incidents of incurring lengthy page miss delays.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus to process read data return has been disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes packing a cache line of each of a number of read data returns into one or more packets, splitting each of the one or more packets into a plurality of flits, and interleaving the plurality of flits of each of the plurality of read data returns. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Memory device having banks of memory cells organized into two groups of banks that share control circuitry and a data buffer to provide an interface to a memory bus, but which are independently operable enough to support unrelated transactions with each group, and can be used to stagger read operations with shortened burst transfers so as to minimize dead time on a memory bus.
摘要:
A device, method, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device comprises one or more graphics local memory channels, one or more system memory channels, and a graphics processor operable to access the one or more graphics local memory channels and the one or more system memory channels in an interleaving manner.
摘要:
In some embodiments, a method, apparatus and system for posted write buffer for memory with unidirectional full duplex interface are presented. In this regard, a buffer agent is introduced to send data to a posted write buffer and to send an independent indication to the memory to write the data to an address. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
