  • Publication number: 20160255740
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include Open Cloud Server (OCS)-compliant and other enterprise servers having high-density modular non-volatile flash memory blades and associated multi-card modules. A modular non-volatile flash memory blade can be seated within a 1U tray. The flash memory blade can include a server motherboard and multiple non-volatile flash memory blade multi-card modules. Each of the multi-card modules can include a printed circuit board, a switch coupled to the printed circuit board, a module power port, an input/output port, and riser card slots to receive solid state drive riser cards. The solid state drive riser cards can be seated within a corresponding riser card slot of the multi-card modules, and can each include multiple solid state drive chips. The server motherboard can communicate with the solid state drive chips via the cable connector riser cards and associated cables.

  • Publication number: 20160147623
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a plurality of memory ranks, a buffer chip including a rank remap control section configured to remap a rank from among the plurality of memory ranks of the volatile memory module responsive to a failure of the rank, and a dynamic serial presence detect section configured to dynamically update a stated total capacity of the volatile memory module based at least on the remapped rank. In some embodiments, a memory module includes a plurality of memory ranks, an extra rank in addition to the plurality of memory ranks, the extra rank being a spare rank configured to store a new page corresponding to a failed page from among the plurality of ranks, and a buffer chip including a page remap control section configured to remap the failed page from among the plurality of ranks to the new page in the extra rank.

  • Patent number: 9348380
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present inventive concept relate to systems and methods for dynamically allocating and/or redistributing thermal budget to each memory group in a memory array from a total memory thermal budget based on the workload of each memory group. In this manner, the memory groups having a higher workload can receive a higher thermal budget. The allocation can be dynamically adjusted over time. Thus, the individual and overall memory group performance increases while efficiently allocating the total thermal budget. By dynamically sharing the total thermal budget of the system, the performance of the system as a whole is increased, thereby lowering, for example, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of datacenters.

  • Patent number: 9342136
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present inventive concept relate to systems and methods for dynamically allocating and/or redistributing thermal budget to each processor from a total processor thermal budget based on the workload of each processor. In this manner, the processor(s) having a higher workload can receive a higher thermal budget. The allocation can be dynamically adjusted over time. The individual and overall processor performance increases while efficiently allocating the total thermal budget. By dynamically sharing the total thermal budget of the system, the performance of the system as a whole is increased, thereby lowering, for example, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of datacenters.
