Abstract: Embodiments are described for managing memory faults. An example system can include a memory controller module to manage memory cells and report memory faults. An error buffer module can store memory fault information received from the memory controller. A notification module can be in communication with the error buffer module. The notification module may generate a notification of a memory fault in a memory access operation. A system software module can provide services and manage executing programs on a processor. In addition, the system software module can receive the notifications of the memory fault for the memory access operation. A notification handler may be activated by an interrupt when the notification of the memory fault in the memory access operation is received.

Abstract: Implementations of a file system that is supported by a non-volatile memory that is directly connected to a memory bus, and placed side by side with a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), are described.

Example systems may include a cache memory that is accessible by a cache client. The cache memory may include a plurality of storage locations for a first cache block, with a most recently used position location in the cache memory. A cache controller may be configured to predict whether the first cache block stored in the cache memory is identified as a dead cache block based on a cache burst of the first cache block. The cache burst may comprise a first access of the first cache block by a cache client and any subsequent contiguous accesses of the first cache block following the first access by the cache client while the first cache block is in a most recently used position of the cache set.

Various implementations may include a predictor storage storing a value corresponding to at least one prediction type associated with at least one load operation, and a state-machine having multiple states. For example, the state-machine may determine whether to execute the load operation based upon a prediction type associated with each of the states and a corresponding precedent to the load operation for the associated prediction type. The state-machine may further determine the prediction type for a subsequent load operation based on a result of the load operation. The states of the state machine may correspond to prediction types, which may be a conservative prediction type, an aggressive prediction type, or one or more N-store prediction types, for example.
