Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods related to generating and executing a control flow. An example apparatus can include a first device configured to generate control flow instructions, and a second device including an array of memory cells, an execution unit to execute the control flow instructions, and a controller configured to control an execution of the control flow instructions on data stored in the array.

Generating and executing a control flow

Apparatuses and methods for selective communication through a memory connector via switching circuitry. An apparatus includes a memory connector, a memory bus corresponding to a memory protocol, one or more communication buses corresponding to one or more communication protocols, and switching circuitry operably coupled between the memory connector and the memory bus and the one or more communication buses. The one or more communication protocols are different from the memory protocol. The switching circuitry is configured to selectively operably couple any one of the memory bus and the one or more communication buses to the memory connector to enable communication through the memory connector using any one of the memory protocol or the one or more communication protocols.

Systems and methods for selective communication through a DIMM socket via a multiplexer. A system comprises a computer interface board that includes at least two DIMM sockets, a communication bus circuitry and a control circuitry coupled to the at least two DIMM sockets. The communication bus circuitry includes a first portion of a first bus configured to receive a first set of data, and a second portion of the first bus configured to receive a second set of the data. The control circuitry includes a multiplexer coupled to a first DIMM socket and the first portion of the first bus, the first multiplexer configured to enable the control circuitry to selectively communicate through the first DIMM socket, via the first portion of the first bus, using one of the number of communication protocols.

Disclosed are systems and methods for managing memory. A memory management system may include a table having multiple virtual memory addresses. Each virtual memory address may correspond to a physical memory address and data that identifies a type of memory device corresponding to the physical memory address. The physical memory device can be used to access the memory device when a table hit occurs.

Memory management for a hierarchical memory system

Memory systems may include a storage device comprising a first memory; a processor; and a second memory. The memory systems may be configured to read first data from a first storage location of the first memory, store the first data to a first storage location of the second memory and input the first data to a compression block of the storage device, compress the first data and store the compressed first data to a second storage location of the second memory, evaluate the compressed first data, store the first data from the first storage location of the second memory to a different storage location of the first memory when the compressed first data is not deemed compressible, and combine the compressed first data with additional compressed data and store the combined compressed data to a different storage location of the first memory when the compressed first data is deemed compressible.

Electrical systems and related methods are disclosed. An electrical system comprises an electronic device configured to communicate through an electrical connector using one of a plurality of different communication protocols responsive to receiving an indication of the one of the plurality of different communication protocols through the electrical connector from another electronic device. The other electronic device is configured to provide a protocol indicator that indicates a particular communication protocol with which the other electronic device is configured to communicate through an electrical connector of the electronic device. A method includes receiving a protocol indicator from another electronic device through an electrical connector. The protocol indicator indicates a communication protocol. The method also includes communicating with the other electronic device through the electrical connector using the indicated communication protocol.

A waterfowl decoy having oscillating wings includes an oscillation mechanism having an anchor plate fixedly disposed in the interior cavity of a waterfowl decoy body, first and second wing gears pivotally attached to the surface of the anchor plate, the wing gears intermeshed such that pivoting movement of one causes corresponding counter-pivoting movement in the other, a drive wheel and link for reciprocally pivoting the first wing gear within a defined arc, and a pair of wings attached to the wing gears and extending outwardly from the decoy body, such that reciprocating movement of the wing gears causes the wings to oscillate in a motion resembling that of the flapping wings of a bird in flight.

Methods of operating a storage device include reading first data from a first storage location of a first memory of the storage device, storing the first data to a first storage location of a second memory of the storage device, compressing the first data and storing the compressed first data to a second storage location of the second memory, evaluating the compressed first data to determine if it is deemed compressible, storing the first data from the first storage location of the second memory to a different storage location of the first memory if the compressed first data was determined to not be compressible, and combining the compressed first data with additional compressed data and storing the combined compressed data to a different storage location of the first memory if the compressed first data was determined to be compressible.

Methods of operating a memory system including data collection and compression

The present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods related to generating and executing a control flow. An example apparatus can include a first device configured to generate control flow instructions, and a second device including an array of memory cells, an execution unit to execute the control flow instructions, and a controller configured to control an execution of the control flow instructions on data stored in the array.

A method and system are described for generating reference tables in object code which specify the addresses of branches, routines called, and data references used by routines in the code. In a suitably equipped processing system, the reference tables can be passed to a memory management processor which can open the appropriate memory pages to expedite the retrieval of data referenced in the execution pipeline. The disclosed method and system create such reference tables at the beginning of each routine so that the table can be passed to the memory management processor in a suitably equipped processor. Resulting object code also allows processors lacking a suitable memory management processor to skip the reference table, preserving upward compatibility.
