Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that determines a write-to-write delay with respect to a memory cell, wherein one or more neighboring cells are adjacent to the memory cell and controls a write disturb refresh rate of the one or more neighboring cells based on the write-to-write delay. In one example, the technology increments a write counter corresponding to the memory cell by a first value if the write-to-write delay exceeds a delay threshold and increments the write counter by a second value if the write-to-write delay does not exceed the delay threshold, wherein the second value is greater than the first value, and wherein the write disturb refresh rate is controlled based on the write counter.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, system and method to determine whether to use a low or high read voltage. First level indications of write addresses, for locations in the non-volatile memory to which write requests have been directed, are included in a first level data structure. For a write address of the write addresses having a first level indication in the first level data structure, the first level indication of the write address is removed from the first level data structure and a second level indication for the write address is added to a second level data structure to free space in the first level data structure to indicate a further write address. A first voltage level is used to read data from read addresses mapping to one of the first and second level indications in the first and the second level data structures, respectively.

Abstract: A first set representing a first plurality of physical block addresses of a non-volatile memory and a second set representing a second plurality of physical block addresses of the non-volatile memory may be identified. In response to a request to perform a wear leveling operation, first data from a first physical block address of the first set may be swapped with second data from a first physical block address of the second set. A second physical block address of the first set that is adjacent to the first physical block address of the first set may be identified. Third data from the second physical block address of the first set may be swapped with fourth data from a second physical block address of the second set that is adjacent to the first physical block of the second set.

Abstract: A circuit for sensing on-die temperature at multiple locations using a minimum number of pins is described. Thermal diodes coupled to pins are placed on a die to measure the temperature at various die locations. Voltage is applied to the pins to determine the temperature at each given diode location. The polarity of the voltage applied across the pins determines what diodes are selected for measurement.

Abstract: A client/server network system is disclosed for cyclic multicasting of an image file from a central data provider (server) to one or more remote client machines (workstations) over a computer network with minimum network transmission while allowing any number of client machines (workstations) to download the image file at any moment in time without the need to synchronize with the central server's transmission. The network system includes a computer network; a plurality of remote client machines on the computer network; and a central server for providing a cyclic multicasting of an image file to one or more client machines over the computer network concurrently through the use of different transmission cycles of a single cyclic multicast session.
