Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for bad row mode. The memory may prevent proper access operations (e.g., read operations) from being performed on a selected bad row of the memory as part of a bad row mode. For example, the memory may store a bad row address and when an access address matches the bad row address, may suppress one or more signals, change data read from the address, or combinations thereof. The bad row mode may be used to provide a positive control for post package repair (PPR) operations on the memory. A controller may enter the memory into bad row mode and then test the memory to determine if the selected bad row can be located and repaired via PPR.

Abstract: A method is provided for dynamically controlling the pace of online impression delivery among multiple geographic regions in a real-time bidding (RTB) system. Target geographic locations associated with a campaign are identified, and target geographic regions associated with each target geographic location are identified. A pacing score is determined for each target geographic region. The bidding system makes bidding decisions regarding RTB bid requests received from an RTB exchange based at least on whether the respective bid request is associated with a target geographic region, and if so, the pacing score for that target geographic region. A campaign-related impression is delivered for each winning bid, and impression delivery data is stored for each target geographic region. The bidding system automatically adjusts the pacing score for each target geographic region based on the stored impression delivery data for that geographic region, and uses the adjusted pacing scores for subsequent bidding decisions.
