Memory segmentation

Abstract: A method and a circuit of testing of a memory interface associated with an embedded memory in a semiconductor circuit involves writing to two memory locations in succession; reading the two memory locations in succession in the same order in which the two memory locations were written; capturing output data from the memory interface; and analyzing captured output data to determine whether said captured output data corresponds to expected data.

Abstract: Systems and methods that manage memory are provided. In one embodiment, a system for communications may include, for example, a memory management system that may handle a first application employing a virtual address based tagged offset and a second application employing a zero based tagged offset with a common set of memory algorithms.

Abstract: A method of entering memory module mounted on a memory system or a plurality of memories mounted on the memory module into a test mode, and a first register and a second register for performing the method are introduced. Each of the memory manufacturers provides a different MRS code for entering the memory into the test mode and a different method of entering the memory into the test mode from one another. As a result, the number of the test MRS is stored in the first register for controlling the memory, and the test MRS codes are programmed into the second register. Additionally, each of the bits stored in the first register used for determining the number of the test MRS corresponds to each of the second registers that store a corresponding test MRS code, respectively.

Abstract: 1. Abstract We have implemented a default memory manager for the Mach 3.0 kernel that resides entirely in user space. The default memory manager uses a small set of kernel privileges to lock itself into memory, preventing deadlocks against other Mach system services. An extension to the Mach boot sequence loads both the kernel and user program images at system startup time. The resulting system allows the default memory manager to be built and run in a standard user-level environment, but still operates with the high reliability required by the Mach kernel.
