20090089514 | Implementing Asynchronous Request for Forcing Dynamic Memory into Self Refresh - In some embodiments a memory controller receives a signal indicating a power condition of a system. In response to the received signal the memory controller controls a clock enable signal to a memory, allows only already issued memory controller signals to finish, and forces the memory into a self refresh. A transition is made such that power is only provided to the memory controller and to the memory, and no power is provided to any other components in the system. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 04-02-2009 |
20110035535 | Tracking a lifetime of write operations to a non-volatile memory storage - A method, device, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment method begins by incrementing a count of a total number of write operations to a non-volatile memory storage for each write operation to the non-volatile memory storage. The method then receives a request for the total count of lifetime write operations from a requestor. Finally, the method sends the total count of lifetime write operations to the requestor. | 02-10-2011 |
