Abstract:
A method for sending data from a local memory device in a first computing device to an external memory device in a second computing device is described herein. In one example, a method includes configuring the local memory device to store data for the external memory device and detecting a request for data from the external memory device. The method also includes translating a memory address that corresponds to the requested data from an external memory address to a local memory address. Additionally, the method includes retrieving the requested data based on the local memory address and sending the requested data to the second computing device.
Abstract:
A system and method for recovering stranded data from a non-volatile memory is provided. An example of a method includes copying data from a non-volatile memory (NVM) in a home node over a sideband interface and writing the data to a target memory region, wherein the target memory region is in a fail-over node.
Abstract:
A computing system can include a processor and a persistent main memory including a fault tolerance capability. The computing system can also include a memory controller to store data in the persistent main memory and create redundant data. The memory controller can also store the redundant data remotely with respect to the persistent main memory. The memory controller can further access the redundant data during failure of the persistent main memory.
Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to response control for memory modules that include or interface with non-compliant memory technologies. A memory module may include an interface to a memory bus that complies with a data transfer standard, wherein the memory bus communicates with a memory controller, and an interface to a non-compliant memory technology that does not comply with the data transfer standard. The memory module may include a command monitoring circuit to determine whether a command from the memory controller has been or will be completed by the non-compliant memory circuit within a defined amount of time within which a command should be completed according to the data transfer standard. The memory module may include an error causing circuit that signals to the memory controller or an operating system when the command has not or will not complete within the defined amount of time.
