  • Patent number: 10777250
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems associated with save-restore circuitry including metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) devices. The save-restore circuitry may be coupled to a bit node and/or bit bar node of a pair of cross-coupled inverters to save the state of the bit node and/or bit bar node when an associated circuit block transitions to a sleep state, and restore the state of the bit node and/or bit bar node when the associated circuit block transitions from the sleep state to an active state. The save-restore circuitry may be used in a flip-flop circuit, a register file circuit, and/or another suitable type of circuit. The save-restore circuitry may include a transmission gate coupled between the bit node (or bit bar node) and an internal node, and an MFM device coupled between the internal node and a plate line. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 10331582
    Abstract: A processor includes a processing core and a cache controller including a read queue and a separate write queue. The read queue is to buffer read requests of the processing core to a non-volatile memory, last level cache (NVM-LLC), and the write queue is to buffer write requests to the NVM-LLC. The cache controller is to detect whether the write queue is full. The cache controller further prioritizes a first order of sending requests to the NVM-LLC when the write queue contains an empty slot, the first order specifying a first pattern of sending the read requests before the write requests, and prioritizes a second order of sending requests to the NVM-LLC in response to a determination that the write queue is full, the second order specifying a second pattern of alternating between sending a write request from the write queue and a read request from the read queue.
