  • Patent number: 11243892
    Abstract: A request for data from a cache (TLB or data/instruction cache) specifies a partition identifier allocated to a software execution environment associated with the request. Allocation of data to the cache is controlled based on a set of configuration information selected based on the partition identifier specified by the request. For a TLB, this allows different allocation policies to be used for requests associated with different software execution environments. In one example, the cache allocation is controlled based on an allocation threshold specified by the selected set of configuration information, which limits the maximum number of cache entries allowed to be allocated with data associated with the corresponding partition identifier.

  • Patent number: 11137919
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, method and/or systems for responding to a request for accessing a portion of a memory prior to completion of a requested operation to place the portion of the memory in an initialized state. In one example implementation, a memory controller may delay initiation of a write operation addressed to a particular portion of the memory until completion of a pending request to initialize the particular portion of the memory. In another example implementation, a memory controller may return values to service a request for a read operation comprising values representing an initialized state without accessing the particular portion of the memory responsive to a presence of a pending request to initialize the particular portion of the memory.

  • Patent number: 10797238
    Abstract: Subject matter disclosed herein may relate to construction of a correlated electron material (CEM) device. In particular embodiments, after formation of a film comprising layers of a transition metal oxide (TMO) material and a dopant, at least a portion of the film may be exposed to an elevated temperature. Exposure of the at least a portion of the film to the elevated temperature may continue until the atomic concentration of the dopant within the film is reduced, which may enable operation of the film as a correlated electron material CEM exhibiting switching of impedance states.
