Memory controller that forces prefetches in response to a present row address change timing constraint

Patent Ranjan, Ashish; Kozhikkottu, Vivek

An apparatus having a memory controller is described. The memory controller includes prefetch circuitry to prefetch, from a memory, data having a same row address in response to the memory controller's servicing of its request stream being stalled because of a timing constraint that prevents a change in row address. The memory controller also includes a cache to cache the prefetched data. The memory controller also includes circuitry to compare addresses of read requests in the memory controller's request stream against respective addresses of the prefetched data in the cache and to service those of the requests in the memorymore » « less

System and method for modeling and forecasting cyclical demand systems with dynamic controls and dynamic incentives

Patent Ghosh, Soumyadip; Hosking, Jonathan R. M.; Natarajan, Ramesh; ...

Systems and methods for modeling and forecasting cyclical demand systems in the presence of dynamic control or dynamic incentives. A method for modeling a cyclical demand system comprises obtaining historical data on one or more demand measurements over a plurality of demand cycles, obtaining historical data on incentive signals over the plurality of demand cycles, constructing a model using the obtained historical data on the one or more demand measurements and the incentive signals, wherein constructing the model comprises specifying a state-space model, specifying variance parameters in the model, and estimating unknown variance parameters.
