Abstract:
A multi-die semiconductor package includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die having a first intrinsic performance level and a second IC die having a second intrinsic performance level different from the first intrinsic performance level. A power management controller distributes, based on a determined die performance differential between the first IC die and the second IC die, a level of power allocated to the semiconductor chip package between the first IC die and the second IC die. In this manner, the first IC die receives and operates at a first level of power resulting in performance exceeding its intrinsic performance level. The second IC die receives and operates at a second level of power resulting in performance below its intrinsic performance level, thereby reducing performance differentials between the IC dies.
Abstract:
A system, method, and memory device embodying some aspects of the present invention for remapping external memory addresses and internal memory locations in stacked memory are provided. The stacked memory includes one or more memory layers configured to store data. The stacked memory also includes a logic layer connected to the memory layer. The logic layer has an Input/Output (I/O) port configured to receive read and write commands from external devices, a memory map configured to maintain an association between external memory addresses and internal memory locations, and a controller coupled to the I/O port, memory map, and memory layers, configured to store data received from external devices to internal memory locations.
