Anandhavel Nagendrakumar has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250053343
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a number of memory devices and a memory controller coupled to one or more of the number of memory devices. The memory controller can include a row hammer detector. The memory controller can be configured increment for a first time period a row counter in a first data structure and a refresh counter. The memory controller can be configured to increment for a second time period a row counter in a second data structure and the refresh counter. The memory controller can be configured to determine that a value of the refresh counter exceeds a refresh threshold and responsive to the determination that the value of the refresh counter exceeds the refresh threshold, issue a notification.

  • Publication number: 20240096439
    Abstract: In a compute express link (CXL) memory controller system, a system and method to identify memory errors which may require soft package repair or hard package repair to rows of DRAM memory. When data is written to a row of DRAM, the data is immediately and automatically read back and scanned for bit errors. If bit errors are identified, steps are taken to determine if the memory location requires no repair, soft repair, or hard repair. The data is corrected and written back to a new memory location which is memory-mapped to the original location, thus effecting the soft- or hard-repair. The present system and method does not repair the entire row of memory, but only repairs the specific die(s) that exhibit memory error in the row.

  • Publication number: 20240095120
    Abstract: In a memory controller system, a system and method to identify memory errors which may require soft package repair or hard package repair to rows of DRAM memory. When data is written to a row of DRAM, the data is immediately and automatically read back and scanned for bit errors. If bit errors are identified, the data is corrected and written back to the same memory location. The memory location is re-read. If bit errors are again identified, the memory location is marked for soft or hard repair. If, upon rereading the memory location, additional bit errors are identified, a historical record of memory errors is reviewed to determine if bit errors have occurred previously at the same memory location. If yes, the memory location is again marked for a soft post package repair or a hard post package repair.
