A processor and a method implemented by the processor to obtain computation results are described. The processor includes a unified reuse table embedded in a processor pipeline, the unified reuse table including a plurality of entries, each entry of the plurality of entries corresponding with a computation instruction or a set of computation instructions. The processor also includes a functional unit to perform a computation based on a corresponding instruction.

Processor with memory-embedded pipeline for table-driven computation

Systems and methods to manage memory on a spin transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM) are provided. A particular method may include determining a performance characteristic using relationship information that relates a bit error rate to at least one of a programming pulse width, a temperature, a history-based predictive performance parameter, a coding scheme, and a voltage level also associated with a memory. The performance characteristic is stored and used to manage a write operation associated with the memory.

Determining and storing bit error rate relationships in spin transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM)

Systems and methods to manage memory on a spin transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM) are provided. A particular method of managing memory includes determining a temperature associated with the memory and determining a level of write queue utilization associated with the memory. A write operation may be performed based on the level of write queue utilization and the temperature.
