  • Publication number: 20240152464
    Abstract: A computer system includes physical memory devices of different types that store randomly-accessible data in a main memory of the computer system. In one approach, data is stored in memory at one or more logical addresses allocated to an application by an operating system. The data is physically stored in a first memory device of a first memory type (e.g., NVRAM). The operating system determines an access pattern for the stored data. In response to determining the access pattern, the data is moved from the first memory device to a second memory device of a different memory type (e.g., DRAM).

  • Patent number: 11954042
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses of distributed computing based on memory as a service are described. For example, a set of networked computing devices can each be configured to execute an application that accesses memory using a virtual memory address region. Each respective device can map the virtual memory address region to the local memory for a first period of time during which the application is being executed in the respective device, map the virtual memory address region to a local memory of a remote device in the group for a second period of time after starting the application in the respective device and before terminating the application in the respective device, and request the remote device to process data in the virtual memory address region during at least the second period of time.

  • Publication number: 20230331108
    Abstract: There are currently approximately 16 Million EV's in the World today of various makes, models, and types. Regardless, each type requires periodic charging of the batteries and the number of batteries on board determines the vehicle range. These 16 million cars consume roughly 30 Terawatt-Hours (TWh) of electricity per year, the equivalent of all the electricity generated in the country of Ireland. A hydrogen powered battery charger embedded in the vehicle can create additional green energy to extend the range of the vehicle for a small cost of hydrogen, and can be added after market regardless of the vehicle brand or model, since there are no engines, transmissions, or rear drive assemblies are as found in typical fossil fuel vehicles today. The generator is a PEM type module connected to a electric alternator or DC generator which is housed within the vehicle in a small footprint. Such a unit can have an expected life cycle of some 20 years or more.
