Abstract
Systems and methods for clearing bank descriptors for reuse by gate banks without requiring a system reboot are described. In some embodiments, information regarding a bank descriptor of a memory system may be obtained. From the information, a determination may be made as to whether the bank descriptor describes a common bank. When the bank descriptor describes a common bank, the bank descriptor can be updated to no longer describe the common bank.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, information regarding a bank descriptor of a memory system;
- determining, by the processor from the information, whether the bank descriptor describes a common bank;
- and
- updating, by the processor when the bank descriptor describes a common bank, the bank descriptor to no longer describe the common bank.

A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing system, cause the processor to perform the steps of:
- obtaining information regarding a. bank descriptor of a memory system;
- determining, from the information, whether the bank descriptor describes a common bank;
- and
- updating, when the bank descriptor describes a common bank, the bank descriptor to no longer describe the common bank.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is further configured to perform the steps of:
- obtaining information regarding a bank descriptor of a memory system;
- determining, from the information, whether the bank descriptor describes a common bank;
- and
- updating, when the bank descriptor describes a common bank, the bank descriptor to no longer describe the common bank,
