    摘要: The present invention relates to a write controller (10) for a memory with a plurality of non-volatile storage cells, a read controller for a memory with a plurality of nonvolatile storage cells, to a combined write/read controller, to a solid state device comprising a memory with a plurality of non-volatile storage cells, a programmer device for writing a binary code to a non-volatile memory, to a method for writing data comprising at least one input bit to a memory having non-volatile storage cells, and to a method for controlling the integrity of data comprising at least one input bit stored in non-volatile storage cells of a memory. The invention provides a reliable detection of changes that have occurred to the content of a non-volatile memory. The basic concept of the present invention is to extend information stored in a non-volatile memory by at least one checking bit. The checking bit is allocated to one code bit, or to each of a plurality of code bits. The allocation is preferably reflected in an allocation of memory cells storing the input and code bits.

    摘要: When booting a personal computer, it needs to find instructions immediately to tell it what to run to start up the personal computer. These it finds within the so-called basic input/output system (BIOS) program. Usually the BIOS program is stored in a separate location, for example a ROM. It is usually shadowed into system memory (SM) to speed up its operation. The copying of the BIOS program to system memory (SM), amongst others, causes the boot process to be a relatively slow process. In the present invention, the system memory (SM) comprises a persistent system memory (PSM) and the BIOS program is stored in the persistent system memory (PSM). Furthermore, selected information used by the BIOS program is stored in persistent system memory (PSM) as well. As a result, the speed of booting the personal computer is significantly increased.

    摘要: A universal memory device is presented that provides adaptability to existing hardware and software environments. The memory can “mimic” existing memory technology combining the advantages of integration all memory capacity in to one single technology and still providing the implicit protections and access characteristics known from the different existing memory technologies. The memory device comprises a memory having a plurality of low-latency, rewritable, non-volatile memory cells forming at least one memory section, a profile storage unit connected with said memory and comprising access information allocated to at least one set of request information elements (r: quest profile), such that said access information indicates whether a request for access to said memory (access request), said access request having said request profile, is to be allowed or rejected, and an access control unit communicating with said profile storage unit and said memory, and adapted to allow or reject an incoming access request in dependence on the access information allocated to the request profile of the access request.

    摘要: A computer system includes a system memory (SM) and a non-volatile memory (NVM). The computer system is arranged to copy at least a part of the system state, stored in the system memory during a clean boot-up procedure, into the non-volatile memory (209, 329). During subsequent start-ups of the computer system, the system state is copied from the non-volatile memory into the system memory (205, 305), resulting in a significantly faster system start-up. In case the configuration of the computer system has changed, the complete boot-up procedure is executed again and the new system state is copied into the non-volatile memory, overwriting the previously stored system state.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of writing data to and reading data from a memory (102) by a host. By limiting processing time, time restrictions regarding the data to be processed can be met. However, this is at the expense of data integrity. By setting time limits for a group (300) of multiple processing assignments and dynamic allocation of time, reserved for error recovery and retries, data integrity can be improved, while time limits can still be met. Furthermore, by attaching priorities to the assignments, multiple types of data can be handled in one group of assignments. For example, assignments with real-time requirements can be put in a group with assignments with best effort requirements. In this way, more flexible planning of processing assignments is possible. The invention also relates to a system for writing data to and reading data from a memory.

    摘要: The invention relates to a record carrier (1) comprising an area for storing data, the record carrier adhering to a pre-defined, standardized condition with respect to a physical parameter. The record carrier comprises parameter information on the physical parameter, which parameter information is of a higher precision than the precision of the physical parameter mentioned in the pre-defined, standardized condition. Using this high precision parameter information, it is possible to derive the exact position of a visible image pixel data making up a label. This parameter information thus enables a recorder to write a visible label on the record carrier according to the invention.
