    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: 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: The present invention relates to a method for managing memory space of a persistent-memory device and to a memory management device. The memory management method of the invention comprises a step of allocating (S14) at least one first part of said memory space to a file system (74) upon request from said file system (74) or from an application (70). The method and the device of the present invention enable a dynamical allocation of persistent-memory space to a file system. This way, the memory space of a persistent memory is effectively used also for write-caching. At the same time, write-caching and storing steps can be accelerated.

    摘要: The invention relates to an ad-hoc network (100) comprising a network device (201) for configuration management. The network device (201) comprises a traffic monitoring processor (211) which monitors traffic between different network elements. The network device (201) further comprises a configuration processor (213) which determines combined configuration information for at least a first and second network element in response to the monitored traffic. The combined configuration information is stored in a data store (215) and may be communicated to other network elements. The network device (201) may thus derive combined configuration information which relates to more than one network element and may specifically determine combined configuration information in the context of location, connections and history of the ad-hoc network (100). The stored combined configuration information may be used to initiate a replacement network element or to emulate the functionality of an existing network element. It may also be used for error detection.

The content item recorder (101) may be a Personal Video Recorder comprising a hard disk. The content item recorder (109) comprises a back-up processor (115) generating reduced reference information associated with the plurality of content items; and a memory interface (117) for storing the reduced reference information to a back-up memory (119) separate from the storage means (109). The reduced reference information may be reduced user profile information of reference information allowing external copies of content items to be identified from external sources which may specifically be part of a peer-to-peer network. The reduced reference information may automatically be stored on recordable DVD disks when a content item is stored thereon. Following a hard disk malfunction or replacement, hard disk information may be restored in response to the reduced reference information.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a recordable record carrier having a user area (UA) for storing user data and a management area (MA) for storing management data. The invention further relates to a recording apparatus for recording information on such a record carrier and a corresponding recording method. In some applications it is useful to translate the main file system into an alternative virtual file system. To reduce the mount times and power consumption needed for reconstruction of the virtual file system, it is proposed that the management area (MA) comprises a main file system area (70) for storing main file system data (mFS), a virtual file system area (71) for storing virtual file system data (vFS) in a raw format, and an indicator area (72) for storing an indicator (ID) indicating whether the main system data (mFS) and the virtual file system data (vFS) are mutually consistent. Only if the indicator (ID) indicates an inconsistency does the virtual file system data (vFS) need to be reconstructed from the main file system data (mFS) when the virtual file system data (vFS) is required by an application. Otherwise, the virtual file system data (vFS) can be directly retrieved from the record carrier without reconstruction.
