Abstract: A method, system, device and software products for loading files or clips thereof from a unit including files or clips thereof over at least one interface to a data-processing unit. The arrangement according to the invention includes determining joint probabilities of the files or parts (“clips”) thereof, energy consumptions caused by their loading and a value for maximum energy consumption. A loading order is formed for the files or clips thereof as a function of the joint probabilities. Files or clips thereof are loaded over at least one interface in the loading order, and total energy consumption caused by the loading is determined until the value of the total energy consumption exceeds the value of the maximum energy consumption. At this point, loading of the files or clips thereof is interrupted.

Abstract: The present invention describes a novel methodology for a direct communication between a memory module and a processor of an electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) using a fast non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) provided in that memory module. New NVRAM technologies make it possible to have a single memory unit supporting a baseband operation of the electronic device such as the mobile phone. This is possible because NVRAMs are non-volatile (no need for a separate NOR) and fast (equivalent to a DRAM speed). This invention defines ways to connect the fast NVRAM to a baseband communication line through an existing mobile double data rate (DDR) interface. The invention also demonstrates flexibility and extended capabilities of the NVRAM approach by using the NVRAMs in combination with additional optional components such as a mass memory, a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and an application-specific integration circuit.
