Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for dynamically adjusting memory power state transition timers. One embodiment of a method comprises receiving one or more parameters impacting usage or performance of a memory device coupled to a processor in a computing device. An optimal value is determined for one or more memory power state transition timer settings. A current value is updated for the memory power state transition timer settings with the optimal value.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) system configures an inactive portion of a DRAM die to operate in accordance with a self-refresh mode that is characterized by refreshes of the DRAM die being controlled by a local DRAM die controller integrated into the DRAM die. The DRAM system also configures an active portion of the DRAM die to operate in accordance with a controller-managed refresh mode while the inactive portion of the DRAM die operates in the self-refresh mode, the controller-managed refresh mode characterized by refreshes of the DRAM die being controlled by a controller that is external to the DRAM die.
