Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for selective communication through a memory connector via switching circuitry. An apparatus includes a memory connector, a memory bus corresponding to a memory protocol, one or more communication buses corresponding to one or more communication protocols, and switching circuitry operably coupled between the memory connector and the memory bus and the one or more communication buses. The one or more communication protocols are different from the memory protocol. The switching circuitry is configured to selectively operably couple any one of the memory bus and the one or more communication buses to the memory connector to enable communication through the memory connector using any one of the memory protocol or the one or more communication protocols.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for managing memory. A memory management system may include a table having multiple virtual memory addresses. Each virtual memory address may correspond to a physical memory address and data that identifies a type of memory device corresponding to the physical memory address. The physical memory device can be used to access the memory device when a table hit occurs.

Abstract: Electrical systems and related methods are disclosed. An electrical system comprises an electronic device configured to communicate through an electrical connector using one of a plurality of different communication protocols responsive to receiving an indication of the one of the plurality of different communication protocols through the electrical connector from another electronic device. The other electronic device is configured to provide a protocol indicator that indicates a particular communication protocol with which the other electronic device is configured to communicate through an electrical connector of the electronic device. A method includes receiving a protocol indicator from another electronic device through an electrical connector. The protocol indicator indicates a communication protocol. The method also includes communicating with the other electronic device through the electrical connector using the indicated communication protocol.

Abstract: A method and system are described for generating reference tables in object code which specify the addresses of branches, routines called, and data references used by routines in the code. In a suitably equipped processing system, the reference tables can be passed to a memory management processor which can open the appropriate memory pages to expedite the retrieval of data referenced in the execution pipeline. The disclosed method and system create such reference tables at the beginning of each routine so that the table can be passed to the memory management processor in a suitably equipped processor. Resulting object code also allows processors lacking a suitable memory management processor to skip the reference table, preserving upward compatibility.
