  • Publication number: 20190179399
    Abstract: Power saving techniques for memory systems are disclosed. In particular, exemplary aspects of the present disclosure contemplate taking advantage of patterns that may exist within memory elements and eliminating duplicative data transfers. Specifically, if data is repetitive, instead of sending the same data repeatedly, the data may be sent only a single time with instructions that cause the data to be replicated at a receiving end to restore the data to its original repeated state.

  • Publication number: 20190026028
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for minimizing performance degradation due to refresh operations in a dynamic volatile memory sub-system. In an aspect, a refresh scheduler coupled to the dynamic volatile memory sub-system generates a batch memory refresh command comprising an identification of a plurality of rows of each of one or more banks of the dynamic volatile memory sub-system to refresh, and issues the batch memory refresh command to the dynamic volatile memory sub-system.

  • Publication number: 20180225066
    Abstract: Various aspects include methods for managing memory subsystems on a computing device. Various aspect methods may include determining a period of time to force a memory subsystem on the computing device into a low power mode, inhibiting memory access requests to the memory subsystem during the determined period of time, forcing the memory subsystem into the low power mode for the determined period of time, and executing the memory access requests to the memory subsystem inhibited during the determined period of time in response to expiration of the determined period of time.

  • Publication number: 20170255394
    Abstract: Power saving techniques for memory systems are disclosed. In particular, exemplary aspects of the present disclosure contemplate taking advantage of patterns that may exist within memory elements and eliminating duplicative data transfers. Specifically, if data is repetitive, instead of sending the same data repeatedly, the data may be sent only a single time with instructions that cause the data to be replicated at a receiving end to restore the data to its original repeated state. By reducing the amount of data that is transferred between a host and a memory element, power consumption is reduced.
