摘要:
Detecting and flushing maximal length packets is set forth herein. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a flushing event and, in response to the flushing event, repeatedly detecting a maximum length packet of write data from a write combining storage area and flushing the detected maximum length packet to a target input/output (I/O) device over a bus. Each maximal length packet is a packet of maximum payload of write data that can be formulated within in the write combining storage area while adhering to packet protocol rules for the bus.

In some embodiments, a chip includes a scheduler, transmitters, receivers, and control circuitry. The schedule schedules signals to be transmitted outside the chip and the transmitters transmit the scheduled signals outside the chip. The receivers receive signals including signals with temperature information related to a temperature outside the chip. The control circuitry selectively limit a number of commands that can be scheduled within a series of smaller windows while checking the temperature information near the conclusion of a larger window comprising many smaller windows. Other embodiments are described.

Embodiments of apparatus, methods, systems, computer-readable storage media and devices are described herein for determining an error category for a detected error in data read from a volatile memory; and selectively performing or causing an additional remedial action based at least in part on the error category determined. In various embodiments, the determining and the performing or causing may be undertaken in response to the correcting. The memory may be volatile or non-volatile memory. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

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.
摘要:
A register not connected to a data bus is read by transferring data across an address bus to a device connected to the data bus, from which the data is read by a device connected to the data bus. The register resides in a register device connected via the address bus to a memory device that is connected to both the address bus and the data bus. A host processor triggers the register device to transfer information over the address bus to a register on the memory device. The host processor then reads the information from the register of the memory device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus of selectively flushing a conflicted write transaction from a memory controller. According to the method, a new transaction is received that identifies a memory address to which the transaction is directed. It is determined whether an address of the new transaction matches an address of any previously queued transaction. When a match occurs, the one previously queued transaction that matches the new transaction is flushed from queue.
