  • Patent number: 9934143
    Abstract: A memory subsystem includes a group of memory devices connected to an address bus. The memory subsystem includes logic to uniquely map a physical address of a memory access command to each memory device of the group. Thus, each physical address sent by an associated memory controller uniquely accesses a different row of each memory device, instead of being mapped to the same or corresponding row of each memory device.

  • Publication number: 20160379690
    Abstract: A register not connected to a data bus is read by transferring data across an address bus to a device connected to the data bus, from which the data is read by a device connected to the data bus. The register resides in a register device connected via the address bus to a memory device that is connected to both the address bus and the data bus. A host processor triggers the register device to transfer information over the address bus to a register on the memory device. The host processor then reads the information from the register of the memory device.

  • Patent number: 9030903
    Abstract: A memory controller to implement targeted refreshes of potential victim rows of a row hammer event. In an embodiment, the memory controller receives an indication that a specific row of a memory device is experiencing repeated accesses which threaten the integrity of data in one or more victim rows physically adjacent to the specific row. The memory controller accesses default offset information in the absence of address map information which specifies an offset between physically adjacent rows of the memory device. In another embodiment, the memory controller determines addresses for potential victim rows based on the default offset information. In response to the received indication of the row hammer event, the memory controller sends for each of the determined plurality of addresses a respective command to the memory device, where the commands are for the memory device to perform targeted refreshes of potential victim rows.
