Abstract
Devices and related methods for performing background data refresh (BDR) are provided herein, where the device includes (1) memory with a plurality of memory bands and (2) processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine information about each memory band of the plurality of memory bands, to determine an available bandwidth, determine a target refresh rate, and to determine one or more memory partitions to be relocated based on the information and the target refresh rate. The processing circuitry is further configured to cause one or more memory partitions to be relocated in the memory based on the available bandwidth.
Claims21
A device comprising:
- memory comprising a plurality of memory bands;
- and
- processing circuitry to:
- determine information about each memory band of the plurality of memory bands,
- determine an available bandwidth,
- determine a target refresh rate,
- determine one or more memory partitions to be relocated based on the information and on the target refresh rate, and
- cause the one or more memory partitions to be relocated in the memory based on the available bandwidth.
A method for performing background data refresh (BDR) for a device comprising processing circuitry and memory comprising a plurality of memory bands, the method comprising:
- determining, by the processing circuitry, information about each memory band of the plurality of memory bands,
- determining, by the processing circuitry, an available bandwidth,
- determining, by the processing circuitry, a target refresh rate,
- determining, by the processing circuitry, one or more memory partitions to be relocated based on the information and on the target refresh rate, and
- causing, by the processing circuitry, the one or more memory partitions to be relocated in the memory based on the available bandwidth.
