Patent number: 11977757Abstract: Profile switching for memory overclocking is described. In accordance with the described techniques, a memory is operated according to a first memory profile. During operation of the memory according to the first memory profile, a request is received to operate the memory according to a second memory profile. Responsive to the request, operation of the memory is switched to operate according to the second memory profile without rebooting. In one or more implementations, at least one of the first memory profile or the second memory profile comprises an overclocking memory profile that configures the memory to operate in an overclocking mode. In one or more implementations, the memory is trained to operate according to the overclocking memory profile prior to operating the memory according to the first memory profile.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Grant Evan Ley, Jayesh Hari Joshi, Amitabh Mehra, Jerry Anton Ahrens, Joshua Taylor Knight, Anil Harwani, William Robert Alverson

Patent number: 11948562Abstract: Described herein is a system for predictive feature analysis to precompute and store data required to respond to a user input in advance of receiving the user input. To determine when to precompute the data, the system uses a prediction model to predict user interactions and when to expect the user input. The system predicts that a user input is about to be received, and starts to process certain data to determine feature data and stores the data in a cache. When the user input is received, the system retrieves the data from the cache for further processing to respond to the user input.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Evan Welbourne, Min Hao Chen, Jennifer Liwen Chen
