Abstract:
Provided are a method, apparatus, and a system in which an initiator node is configured to communicate with a target node that is coupled to a memory. At system initialization time, a memory address map of the initiator node is generated to include addresses corresponding to the memory to which the target node is coupled. The initiator node accesses the memory coupled to the target node, by using the memory address map of the initiator node.
Abstract:
A rework grid array interposer with direct power is described. The interposer has a foundation layer mountable between a motherboard and a package. A heater is embedded in the foundation layer to provide local heat to reflow solder to enable at least one of attachment or detachment of the package. A connector is mounted on the foundation layer and coupled to the heater and to the package to provide a connection path directly with the power supply and not via the motherboard. One type of interposer interfaces with a package having a solderable extension. Another interposer has a plurality of heater zones embedded in the foundation layer.
Abstract:
Systems and methods to implement a multi-level memory system having a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory are implemented. A home agent may control memory access to both a volatile main memory and a non-volatile second level memory. The second level memory may be inclusive of the main memory. In an embodiment, the home agent may be configured to manage the memory system in a low power state. In a low power state, the volatile memory may be shut down and the non-volatile memory utilized as the only local memory. In an embodiment, the home agent may be configured to manage error recovery for the main memory by recovering the data saved locally in the second level memory. In an embodiment, multiple cores may access the second level memory.
Abstract:
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a logic chip upon which a stack of memory chips is to be placed. The stack of memory chips and the logic chip to be placed within a same package, wherein, multiple memory chips of the stack of memory chips are divided into fractions, and, multiple internal channels within the package that emanate from the logic chip are to be coupled to respective ones of the fractions. The logic chip has a multiplexer. The multiplexer is to multiplex a single input/output (I/O) channel of the package to the multiple internal channels.
Abstract:
Techniques for automated data center maintenance are described. In an example embodiment, an automated maintenance device may comprise processing circuitry and non- transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions for execution by the processing circuitry to cause the automated maintenance device to receive an automation command from an automation coordinator for a data center, identify an automated maintenance procedure based on the received automation command, and perform the identified automated maintenance procedure. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of implementing server architectures that can facilitate the servicing of memory components in computer systems. The systems and methods employ nonvolatile memory/storage modules that include nonvolatile memory (NVM) that can be used for system memory and mass storage, as well as firmware memory. The respective NVM/storage modules can be received in front or rear-loading bays of the computer systems. The systems and methods further employ single, dual, or quad socket processors, in which each processor is communicably coupled to at least some of the NVM/storage modules disposed in the front or rear-loading bays by one or more memory and/or input/output (I/O) channels. By employing NVM/storage modules that can be received in front or rear-loading bays of computer systems, the systems and methods provide memory component serviceability heretofore unachievable in computer systems implementing conventional server architectures.
Abstract:
Memory modules, controllers, and electronic devices comprising memory modules are described. In one embodiment, a memory module comprises a nonvolatile memory and an interface to a volatile memory bus, at least one input power rail to receive power from a host platform, and a controller comprising logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to convert the power from the input power rail from an input voltage to at least one output voltage, different from the input voltage. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, memory modules containing phase change memory elements may be organized so that each memory integrated circuit includes both data and error correcting code. As a result of including the error correcting code in each integrated circuit, extra accesses of the memory module to extract the error correcting code can be avoided, improving the performance of the overall memory module in some embodiments.
Abstract:
A system and method are described for integrating a memory and storage hierarchy including a non-volatile memory tier within a computer system. In one embodiment, PCMS memory devices are used as one tier in the hierarchy, sometimes referred to as "far memory." Higher performance memory devices such as DRAM placed in front of the far memory and are used to mask some of the performance limitations of the far memory. These higher performance memory devices are referred to as "near memory."
