US 10,872,018 B2 · Memory data preservation solution

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for preserving data in memory modules of a computer system. An exemplary method can detect that a software preservation process is needed for a computer system, and thereafter performs the software preservation process. The software preservation process can begin by detecting the initiation of a reduced power mode in a computer system. A syncing process of data contents can then be initiated in a processing unit of the computer system. Next, the computer system can automatically save data contents of a memory module. The software preservation process is completed by turning off a power supply unit of the computer system.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for preserving data in memory modules, comprising:

detecting initiation of a system restart process by a controller hub;
automatically initiating a syncing process of data contents in a processing unit in response to detecting initiation of the system restart process, wherein automatically initiating the synching process comprises transmitting a sync instruction from the controller hub to the processing unit;
automatically saving data contents of a memory module;
and
turning off the power supply unit and turning on the power supply unit in response to detecting initiation of the system restart process.
