  • Patent number: 11256568
    Abstract: The present invention facilitates efficient and effective utilization of storage management features. In one embodiment, a memory device comprises a memory interface, an ECC generation component, and storage components. The memory interface is configured to receive an access request to an address at which data is stored. The memory interface can also forward responses to the request including the data and ECC information associated with the data. The ECC generation component is configured to automatically establish an address at which the ECC information is stored based upon the receipt of the access request to an address at which data is stored. In one exemplary implementation, the internal establishment of the address at which the ECC information is stored is automatic. The storage components are configured to store the information.

  • Patent number: 7657775
    Abstract: Methods, circuits, and apparatus for changing a frequency of a clock signal provided to a graphics memory while reducing any resulting visual glitch or disturbance on a monitor. A specific embodiment provides multiple clock sources that may be multiplexed or selected to provide a memory clock signal to the graphics memory. The multiplexer switches from providing a first clock source signal as the memory clock signal to providing a second clock source signal as the memory clock signal. The first clock source changes its frequency of operation. After the first clock source settles or stabilizes, the multiplexer switches back to providing the first clock source signal as the memory clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20070139426
    Abstract: A memory hub permits a graphics processor to access random access memories, such as dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). In one implementation, the memory hub permits an increase in effective memory bandwidth by aggregating the memory of two or more memories. In another implementation, the memory hub permits a graphics processor to offload memory access interfacing operations to the memory hub.

  • Publication number: 20070133167
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a computer chassis with improved airflow to reduce the occurrence of trapped air pockets and increase heat transfer from components within the chassis. The computer chassis includes a plurality of chambers, wherein each of the chambers is separated by a partition. The partitions are operable to reduce the occurrence of trapped air pockets and increase heat transfer from components of the chassis by causing air to flow through each of the chambers. The computer chassis further includes at least two air vents, wherein each of the chambers is coupled to at least one of the at least two air vents through which air enters the chamber, and wherein each of the chambers is coupled to at least one of the at least two air vents through which air exits the chamber.
