Abstract
Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve receiving, at a control interface, an instruction to alter a power state at a memory device, and directing, by the control interface, a controller to control a power supply to a memory device channel to alter the power state in the memory device.
Claims30
A system comprising:
- a non-volatile memory (NVM) to store a basic/input output system (BIOS);
- a system memory to store an operating system (OS) and a software application;
- a first printed circuit hoard (PCB) including a memory device;
- and
- a second printed circuit board (PCB) including,
- a processing component having a logic unit, a memory controller, a control tint, and a register;
- and
- a partial memory management component having a control interface, a controller, and a memory device channel, wherein the control interface is to direct the controller to control a power supply to the memory device channel to alter a power state in the memory device.
5 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a processing component including a memory controller;
- a control interface to receive a command to alter a power state in memory device;
- and
- a controller to, upon direction from the control interface, control a power supply to a memory device channel to alter the power state in the memory device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving at a control interface, an instruction a power state at a memory device;
- and
- directing, by the control interface, a controller to control a power supply to a memory device channel to alter the power state in the memory device.
A computer readable storage medium comprising a set of target printer instructions, which, if executed by a processor, cause a computer to:
- receive, at a control interlace, an instruction to alter a power state at a memory device;
- and
- direct, by the control interface, a controller to control a power supply to a memory device channel to alter the power state in the memory device.
