Abstract: An SRAM device and a method of placing a portion of memory cells of an SRAM device in an active mode is provided. In one embodiment, the SRAM device includes a hierarchical grouping of memory cells of memory cells and biasing circuitry, coupled to the hierarchical grouping of memory cells, configured to bias a subset of the set based on a memory address associated therewith. In another embodiment, a method includes receiving a memory address associated with the hierarchical grouping of memory cells and biasing a subset of the hierarchical grouping of memory cells based on the memory address.

Abstract: A multi-player video game server includes a player control interface, a video interface, and a game engine. The player interface couples the game server to a network and can receive game control data over the network from multiple players. Each player has a game control device at which game control data can be input. The video interface couples the game server to a video transmission network and transmits game display video over the video transmission network. The game engine is coupled to the player interface and the video interface and includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores multi-player video game instructions that configure the processor to process game control data and render the game display video that is then provided to the video interface for transmission over a video network. A multi-player video gaming method includes receiving a number of player input data connections at a game server.
