  • Publication number: 20250077125
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for access heatmap generation at a memory device are described. In some examples, a memory device may maintain a register for tracking access operation occurrence, for which access operations of an address of the memory device may be mapped to multiple fields of the register. In some cases, in response to a first access operation performed on a first address of the memory device, the memory device may increment a first field and a second field of the register and, in response to a second access operation performed on a second address of the memory device, the memory device may increment the first field and a third field of the register. In some examples, the memory device may maintain a second register having a set of fields that each indicate a respective address for which an access occurrence satisfies a threshold.

  • Patent number: 12242743
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, devices, machine-readable mediums, and methods for customizing an in-memory versioning mode for each memory location according to a predicted access behavior to optimize memory device performance. Usage data in a previous time period may be utilized along with policy rules to determine whether to configure a particular memory address as a zero copy or direct copy mode. For example, memory addresses that are read frequently may be configured as direct copy mode to reduce the read latency penalty. This improves the functioning of the memory system by reducing read latency for memory addresses that are frequently read but written to less frequently, and reduces write latency for memory locations that are frequently written to, but not read as frequently.

  • Patent number: 12223052
    Abstract: A boot process for a computing device, such as integrated circuit, includes security features that are inaccessible during certain operation modes. An image including permission to access those security features is received during the boot process and may be verified using one or more keys. In operation, access to the security features is permitted during the operation modes after the image is verified. Such an approach enables a boot process to permit access to certain features after receipt and verification of different images.
