  • Patent number: 11126550
    Abstract: Disclosed is a monolithic integrated circuit (IC) computing device with multiple independent process cores (multicore) and embedded, non-volatile resistive memory serving as system memory. The resistive system memory is fabricated above the substrate, and logic circuits embodying the process cores are fabricated on the substrate. In addition, access circuitry for operating on the resistive system memory, and circuitry embodying memory controllers, routing devices and other logic components is provided at least in part on the substrate. Large main memory capacities of tens or hundreds of gigabytes (GB) are provided and operable with many process cores, all on a single die. This monolithic integration provides close physical proximity between the process cores and main memory, facilitating significant memory parallelism, reduced power consumption, and eliminating off-chip main memory access requests.

  • Patent number: 7543102
    Abstract: A DRAM command scheduling algorithm is presented that is designed to alleviate various constraints imposed upon high performance, high datarate, short channel DDRx SDRAM memory systems. The algorithm amortizes the overhead costs of rank-switching time and schedules around the tFAW bank activation constraint. A multi-rank DDRx memory system is also presented having at least two ranks of memory each having a number of banks and at least one memory controller configured for performing the hardware-implemented step of DRAM command scheduling for row access commands and column access commands. The step of command scheduling includes decoupling the row access commands from the column access commands; alternatively scheduling the decoupled row access commands to different ranks of memory; and group scheduling the decoupled column access commands to each bank of the number of banks of a given rank of the different ranks of memory.

  • Patent number: PP35665
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of blueberry plant named ‘DrisBlueTwentyNine’, particularly selected as an early to mid-season evergreen blueberry variety that has no chilling hours requirement to produce mid volumes of fruit in soil, as well as for the size and flavor of the fruit, is disclosed.
