| 20090187715 | Prefetch Termination at Powered Down Memory Bank Boundary in Shared Memory Controller - A prefetch scheme in a shared memory multiprocessor disables the prefetch when an address falls within a powered down memory bank. A register stores a bit corresponding to each independently powered memory bank to determine whether that memory bank is prefetchable. When a memory bank is powered down, all bits corresponding to the pages in this row are masked so that they appear as non-prefetchable pages to the prefetch access generation engine preventing an access to any page in this memory bank. A powered down status bit corresponding to the memory bank is used for masking the output of the prefetch enable register. The prefetch enable register is unmodified. This also seamlessly restores the prefetch property of the memory banks when the corresponding memory row is powered up. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090193270 | Power Management in Federated/Distributed Shared Memory Architecture - This invention is a power management scheme for a shared memory multiprocessor system which splits the control logic between the master-specific logic and memory bank logic. Power-down is initiated from a central power-down controller. This central power-down controller informs the master and target specific logic. Further memory accesses are blocked. All pending activities complete. The central controller then proceeds to power down the memory and informs the master and target specific logic upon completion. No requests for wakeup are initiated by master-specific logic from the time a power-down request is received until the completion of power-down. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090248991 | Termination of Prefetch Requests in Shared Memory Controller - A real request from a CPU to the same memory bank as a prior prefetch request is transmitted to the per-memory bank logic along with a kill signal to terminate the prefetch request. This avoids waiting for a prefetch request to complete before sending the real request to the same memory bank. The kill signal gates off any acknowledgement of completion of the prefetch request. This invention reduces the latency for completion of a high priority real request when a low priority speculative request to a different address in the same memory bank has already been dispatched. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090248992 | Upgrade of Low Priority Prefetch Requests to High Priority Real Requests in Shared Memory Controller - A prefetch controller implements an upgrade when a real read access request hits the same memory bank and memory address as a previous prefetch request. In response per-memory bank logic promotes the priority of the prefetch request to that of a read request. If the prefetch request is still waiting to win arbitration, this upgrade in priority increases the likelihood of gaining access generally reducing the latency. If the prefetch request had already gained access through arbitration, the upgrade has no effect. This thus generally reduces the latency in completion of a high priority real request when a low priority speculative prefetch was made to the same address. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090249105 | Hardware Controlled Power Management of Shared Memories - This invention manages power down and wakeup of shared memories in a multiprocessor system. A register for each shared memory has bits corresponding to each master. When a master wants to power down a memory, it sets its corresponding bit in the register. A hardware power down controller for the memory bank powers the memory bank if any processor signals powering the memory bank. The hardware power down controller for the memory bank powers down the memory bank only if all processor signal powering down the memory bank. waits for all masters to set their corresponding bits in the register before initiating power down of the memories. Software running on any processor has a view of the shared memory independent of the other processors and no inter-processor communication is needed. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090249106 | Automatic Wakeup Handling on Access in Shared Memory Controller - A hardware based wake-up scheme initiates memory power-up upon a normal access to a powered down memory. The access that triggered the power-up is buffered. Further accesses are stalled until the memory is completely powered up. The buffered access then proceeds to the memory and the processor is brought out of stall. In cases where the software does not directly control access to the memory, such as on a cache miss, this scheme avoids undesirable conditions due to access to powered down memories. | 10-01-2009 |
