    Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of this disclosure, stray magnetic field mitigation in an MRAM memory such as a spin transfer torque (STT) random access memory (RAM), STTRAM is described. In one embodiment, retention of bitcell bit value storage states in an STTRAM may be facilitated by generating magnetic fields to compensate for stray magnetic fields which may cause bitcells of the memory to change state. In another embodiment, retention of bitcell bit value storage states in an STTRAM may be facilitated by selectively suspending access to a row of memory to temporarily terminate stray magnetic fields which may cause bitcells of the memory to change state. Other aspects are described herein.

    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including a circuit which may increase a speed of removal of data stored in a memory cell. In embodiments, the circuit may include a control logic to detect a signal and a boost circuit coupled to the control logic to allow the control logic to disable an operation of the boost circuit in response to detection of the signal. A discharge device may be coupled to the boost circuit to accelerate leakage of a leakage current in response to the detection of the signal. In the embodiment, the leakage current is a leakage current of a memory cell coupled to the discharge device and acceleration of the leakage of the leakage current and the disablement of the operation of the boost circuit may increase a speed of erasure of data in the memory cell. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

    Abstract: An apparatus is provided which comprises: a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell with at least two non-volatile (NV) resistive memory elements integrated within the SRAM cell; and first logic to self-store data stored in the SRAM cell to the at least two NV resistive memory elements. A method is provided which comprises performing a self-storing operation, when a voltage applied to a SRAM cell decreases to a threshold voltage, to store voltage states of the SRAM cell to at least two NV resistive memory elements, wherein the at least two NV resistive memory elements are integrated with the SRAM cell; and performing self-restoring operation, when the voltage applied to the SRAM cell increases to the threshold voltage, by copying data from the at least two NV resistive memory elements to storage nodes of the SRAM cell.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for incorporating an integrated circuit (IC) die into a die stack. In an embodiment, the die comprises multiple interconnects extending vertically through the die. The multiple interconnects comprise first interconnects which participate in communications via a first channel, second interconnects which participate in communications via a second channel, and third interconnects which are locally insulated from any transmitter or receiver circuitry of the die. Along a direction within a horizontal plane, the third interconnects are in an alternating arrangement with the first interconnects and the second interconnects, wherein the first interconnects and the second interconnects are on opposite sides of a line which is orthogonal to the direction. In another embodiment, along the direction, the first interconnects are successively arranged to correspond to successively greater levels of bit significance, and the second interconnects are successively arranged to correspond to successively lesser levels of bit significance.
