  • Publication number: 20140089755
    Abstract: Method and apparatus to efficiently detect/correct memory errors. A command and an address associated with a data transaction may be received. Parity information associated with the command/address may be received. In response to detecting a parity error, a data array of a memory device may be locked. An indicator indicating the parity error may be sent. A first portion of a memory page to store data may be reserved. A second portion of the memory page to store error correction codes associated with the data may be reserved. The second portion's size may equal or exceed the error correction code capacity needed for the maximum possible data stored in the first portion. A cache line of data may be stored in the first portion. An error correction code associated with the cache line of data may be stored in the second portion.

  • Patent number: 7366368
    Abstract: An optical bus interconnects two or more processors in a multiprocessor system. One or more electrical-to-optical (“E-O”) transmitters are optically coupled to the optical bus using optical couplers. The E-O transmitters receive electrical signals from the processors and convert the electrical signals to optical signals to be guided onto the optical bus. Optical-to-electrical (“O-E”) receivers are also coupled to the optical bus using the optical couplers. The O-E receivers receive optical signals from the optical bus and convert the optical signals to electrical signals for the processors.

  • Patent number: 7318130
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention accurately account for power dissipation in memory systems that include individual memory modules by keeping track of the number of read requests, the number of write requests, and the number of activate requests that are applied to the individual memory modules during selected time periods. If the sum of these totals exceeds a threshold level, the embodiments throttle the memory system, either by throttling the entire memory system based in response to the most active memory module, or by throttling individual memory modules as needed. Other embodiments of the invention may assign the same or different weights to activate requests, read requests, and write requests. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
