    摘要: A semiconductor apparatus that selects a first packet from a plurality of packets stored in a buffer and transfers the first packet. The semiconductor apparatus switches a plurality of different conditions for grouping the plurality of packets according to a priority order of the plurality of conditions; and selects the first packet from a plurality of packets pertaining to a group extracted on a condition selected by the switching according to a given selecting scheme, and transfers the first packet from the buffer.

    摘要: A method for controlling operations of an asynchronous FIFO memory includes: determining a current depth of the asynchronous FIFO memory according to at least one of a clock ratio, a burst length and a continuous transmission length, where the clock ratio is a ratio of a frequency of a first clock signal used by a master device to a frequency of a second clock signal used by a slave device; configuring one or more entries of the asynchronous FIFO memory to be used according to the current depth; and controlling a plurality of FIFO clock signals provided to the asynchronous FIFO memory according to the current depth. One FIFO clock signal corresponds to one entry, and one or more FIFO clock signals corresponding to one or more entries that are not configured according to the current depth are disabled.

    摘要: A memory controller managing a memory device receives a memory read command from a host device that is communicably coupled to the memory device. The memory device includes a storage memory comprising a first type of memory cells and a cache memory comprising a second type of memory cells. The memory controller determines, from the memory read command, a physical address of a target memory location in the storage memory indicated by the memory read command. The memory controller executes a read operation on the target memory location corresponding to the physical address. The memory controller determines a read attribute of the target memory location. Conditioned on determining that the read attribute satisfies one or more threshold conditions, the memory controller programs an entry in the cache memory with information corresponding to the target memory location.

    摘要: A data storage system comprises a controller, a first lower performance storage medium and a second higher performance storage medium. The controller is connected to the storage mediums and is arranged to control I/O access to the storage mediums. The controller is further arranged to store an image on the first storage medium, initiate a copy function from the first storage medium to the second storage medium, direct all I/O access for the image to the second storage medium, periodically age data from the second storage medium to the first storage medium, create a new empty bitmap for each period, and in response to an I/O access for data in the image, update the latest bitmap to indicate that the data has been accessed and update the previous bitmaps to indicate that the data has not been accessed.
