    摘要: A method and system to improve the operations of a registered memory module. In one embodiment of the invention, the registered memory module allows asynchronous read and write operations when a clock circuit in the registered memory module is being activated. In another embodiment of the invention, the registered memory module allows enabling or disabling of its clock circuit without any interruption of its operation. When the clock circuit in the registered memory module is disabled, the power consumption of the registered memory module can be reduced. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the registered memory module is allowed to enter or exit an asynchronous operation mode without entering or exiting a self-refresh or pre-charge power down operation mode of the registered memory module.

    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms for exchanging information between a memory controller and a memory device. In an embodiment, a memory controller receives information indicating for a memory device a threshold number of pending consolidated activation commands to access that memory device. The threshold number indicated by the information is less than a theoretical maximum number of pending consolidated activation commands, the theoretical maximum number defined based on timing parameters of the memory device. In another embodiment, the memory controller limits communication of consolidated activation commands to the memory device based on the information indicating the threshold number.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention describe a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device that may abort a self-refresh mode to improve the exit time from a DRAM low power state of self-refresh. During execution of a self-refresh mode, the DRAM device may receive a signal (e.g., a device enable signal) from a memory controller operatively coupled to the DRAM device. The DRAM device may abort the self-refresh mode in response to receiving the signal from the memory controller.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to improving the reliability, availability, and serviceability of a memory device. In some embodiments, a memory device includes a memory core having a first portion to store data bits and a second portion to store error correction code (ECC) bits corresponding to the data bits. The memory device may also include error correction logic on the same die as the memory core. In some embodiments, the error correction logic enables the memory device to compute ECC bits and to compare the stored ECC bits with the computed ECC bits.

    摘要: A memory controller to implement targeted refreshes of potential victim rows of a row hammer event. In an embodiment, the memory controller receives an indication that a specific row of a memory device is experiencing repeated accesses which threaten the integrity of data in one or more victim rows physically adjacent to the specific row. The memory controller accesses default offset information in the absence of address map information which specifies an offset between physically adjacent rows of the memory device. In another embodiment, the memory controller determines addresses for potential victim rows based on the default offset information. In response to the received indication of the row hammer event, the memory controller sends for each of the determined plurality of addresses a respective command to the memory device, where the commands are for the memory device to perform targeted refreshes of potential victim rows.
