Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for circuitry of a processor to determine a count of prefetch instructions which have been retired, or are designated for retirement. In an embodiment, a performance monitoring unit (PMU) monitors the execution of an instruction sequence by a core of said processor. The PMU detects the retirement of a first instruction, and further makes a first determination that the instruction is of a prefetch instruction type. Based on the first determination, counter circuitry of the processor updates a count of one or more instruction retirements, wherein each such retired instruction is of the prefetch instruction type. The PMU further makes a second determination that another retired second instruction is of a non-prefetch instruction type. In another embodiment, the counter circuitry prevents any updating of that same count based on the second determination.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are related to a method for identifying multi-bank memory architecture having multiple banks including a first bank and a second bank. The method may receive a faulty row address having a faulty bank selection bit, and also, the method may select the first bank or the second bank for row redundancy operations based on the faulty bank selection bit.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for on-die signal calibration. A calibration circuit on an integrated circuit device receives data from an active data path of the integrated circuit device and detects a variation in the received data from a calibration data pattern. An adjustment circuit on an integrated circuit device reduces a delay of an active data path of the integrated circuit device in response to detecting a first variation in received data. An adjustment circuit on an integrated circuit device increases a delay of an active data path of the integrated circuit device in response to detecting a second variation in received data.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for accessing non-volatile memory. An apparatus includes one or more memory die. A memory die includes an array of non-volatile memory cells, a set of ports, and an on-die controller. A set of ports includes a first port and a second port. A first port includes a first plurality of electrical contacts and a second port includes a second plurality of electrical contacts.
