Abstract
A method for operating a dynamic back-up storage system includes: providing a high speed memory including a first rank memory device and subsequent ranks of memory devices; providing a non-volatile memory for saving data from the high speed memory; and providing a control logic unit for controlling access, of a central processing unit that executes a program, from the high speed memory including restoring the subsequent ranks of memory devices while the central processing unit is executing the program from the first rank memory device.
Claims20
A method for operating a dynamic back-up storage system comprising:
- providing a high speed memory including a first rank memory device and subsequent ranks of memory devices;
- providing a non-volatile memory for saving data from the high speed memory;
- and
- providing a control logic unit for controlling access, of a central processing unit that executes a program, from the high speed memory including restoring the subsequent ranks of memory devices while the central processing unit is executing the program from the first rank memory device.
A method for operating a dynamic back-up storage system comprising:
- providing a power management block for detecting a power interrupt;
- providing a high speed memory including a first rank memory device and subsequent ranks of memory devices;
- providing a non-volatile memory for saving data from the high speed memory when the power interrupt is detected;
- and
- providing a control logic unit for controlling access, of a central processing unit that executes a program, from the high speed memory including restoring the subsequent ranks of memory devices while the central processing unit is executing the program from the first rank memory device.
A dynamic back-up storage system comprising:
- a high speed memory includes a first rank memory device and subsequent ranks of memory devices;
- a non-volatile memory for saving data from the high speed memory;
- and
- a control logic unit for controlling access of the high speed memory by a central processing unit includes the first rank memory device accessed before the subsequent ranks of memory devices are restored from the non-volatile memory.
