Abstract
Time tracking for memory apparatuses is described herein. Time information (e.g., timestamps) received for each power event can be utilized to generate statistical information indicating the duration a computing device has spent in a particular power state. This statistical information can be retrieved by manufacturers for purposes such as data retention analysis.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a controller, time information associated with a number of power events;
- calculating respective periods between at least a portion of the number of power events;
- and
- recording the respective periods in one or more formats.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a controller coupled to the memory, the controller configured to:
- sequentially receive time information corresponding to a first power event and time information corresponding to a second power event, wherein the first power event is a preceding power event of the second power event;
- calculate a period between the first power event and the second power event;
- and
- record the period in one or more formats.
4 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a controller coupled to the memory, the controller configured to:
- receive time information corresponding to a number of first power events, wherein each first power event of the number of first power events corresponds to a power transition event from an active state to an inactive state of the apparatus;
- receive time information corresponding to a number of second power events, wherein each second power event of the number of second power events corresponds to a power transition event from an inactive state to an active state of the apparatus;
- and
- calculate, to record respective inactive periods, the respective inactive periods between each one of a number of sets of power events, wherein each set of power events comprises one second power event of the number of second power events and a respective first power event of the number of first power events that precedes the one second power event.
