Title:
コンピュータ装置におけるメモリ管理
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009503627
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A computing device incorporating memory such as mobile SDRAM, which is capable of conserving energy by being operated in a low-power self-refresh mode, is enabled to identify those regions of memory which are allocated but inactive. These regions are collected into specific banks of memory so as to create banks of memory containing only inactive data and which can then be placed in self-refresh. This reduces the power consumed by the computing device, and improves the energy efficiency of the device.
