  • Patent number: 12259829
    Abstract: Memory having internal processors, and methods of data communication within such a memory are provided. In one embodiment, an internal processor may concurrently access one or more banks on a memory array on a memory device via one or more buffers. The internal processor may be coupled to a buffer capable of accessing more than one bank, or coupled to more than one buffer that may each access a bank, such that data may be retrieved from and stored in different banks concurrently. Further, the memory device may be configured for communication between one or more internal processors through couplings between memory components, such as buffers coupled to each of the internal processors. Therefore, a multi-operation instruction may be performed by different internal processors, and data (such as intermediate results) from one internal processor may be transferred to another internal processor of the memory, enabling parallel execution of an instruction(s).

  • Patent number: 12230311
    Abstract: An energy-efficient and area-efficient, mitigation of errors in a memory media device that are caused by row hammer attacks and the like is described. The detection of errors is deterministically performed while maintaining, in an SRAM, a number of row access counters that is smaller than the total number of rows protected in the memory media device. The reduction of the number of required counters is achieved by aliasing a plurality of rows that are being protected to each counter. The mitigation may be implemented on a per-bank basis, per-channel basis or per-memory media device basis. The memory media device may be DRAM.

  • Patent number: 12216586
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include detecting an operation to write dirty data to a cache. The cache is divided into a plurality of channels. In response to the operation, the dirty data is written to a first cache line in the cache, the first cache line being accessed via a first channel. Additionally, a redundant copy of the dirty data is written to a second cache line in the cache. The second cache line serves as a redundant write buffer and is accessed via a second channel, the first and second channels differing from one another. A metadata entry for the second cache line is updated to reference a location of the dirty data in the first cache line.

    Abstract: A processing device, operatively coupled with a memory device, retrieves data from the memory device for merging at one or more sectors of a cache line in a cache, wherein the cache line comprises a plurality of sectors. The processing device determines, based on one or more bits associated with each sector of the cache line, whether each sector of the cache line is configured with at least one of a write protection mode and enable mode, respectively. The processing device writes the data from the memory device to each sector of the cache line using the at least one of the write protection mode or the enable mode.

  • Publication number: 20250014628
    Abstract: A system includes a processing device that determines whether a memory bank is active and adds an activate command for a row of the memory bank accessed by an oldest command for the memory bank to a command scheduler in response to determining the memory bank is not active. The processing device determines whether the row of the memory bank has a corresponding row command in response to determining the memory bank is active. The processing device determines whether a close page mode is enabled or an open row timer has expired on the row and adds a precharge command to the command scheduler in response to determining the close page mode is enabled or the open row timer has expired. The processing device executes a command in the command scheduler based on a priority of commands included in the command scheduler.

  • Publication number: 20250004670
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to memory module interfaces. A memory module, which may include volatile memory or nonvolatile memory, or both, may be configured to communicate with a host device via one interface and to communicate with another memory module using a different interface. Memory modules may thus be added or removed from a system without impacting a PCB-based bus to the host, and memory modules may communicate with one another without accessing a bus to the host. The host interface may be configured according to one protocol or standard, and other interfaces between memory modules may be configured according to other protocols or standards.
