摘要： Apparatuses and methods of an executable-in-place solid-state device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a solid-state device includes a flash memory coupled to a dynamic random access memory, the dynamic random access memory to store at least as much data as the flash memory; and a logic circuit coupled to the flash memory and the dynamic access memory to copy data from the flash memory to the dynamic random access memory on power up of a data processing system coupled to the solid-state device. The logic circuit is to minimize writes to the flash memory by using the dynamic access memory as a working memory during operation of the data processing system, and/or to block at least some sectors of at least one of the flash memory and the dynamic random access memory when the data processing system uses the working memory to conserve power usage of the solid-state device.
