Abstract
Systems and methods of managing memory devices provide for reduced power consumption and better thermal management through enhanced memory throttling. In one embodiment a memory unit includes a memory device and a temperature measurement module coupled to the memory device. The temperature measurement device measures the internal temperature of the memory device. Memory throttling can therefore be implemented based on more accurate measurements and with a much shorter response time.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a temperature measurement logic coupled to a memory module to
- receive temperature data corresponding to a temperature at a location of at least one memory device on the memory module;
- and
- in response to the temperature information indicating the temperature at the location exceeds a threshold, issue a signal.
