    Abstract: An apparatus includes a virtual memory manager that moves data from a first block (A) to a second block (B) in memory. When the virtual memory manager is ready to transfer data from the first block to the second block, a third, temporary block (C) of memory is defined. The translation table in a DMA controller is changed to point DMA transfers that target the first block to instead target the temporary block. The virtual memory manager then transfers data from the first block to the second block. When the transfer is complete, a check is made to see if the DMA transferred data to the temporary block while the data from the first block was being written to the second block. If so, the data written to the temporary block is written to the second block. A hardware register is preferably used to efficiently detect changes to the temporary block.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure and a method for implementing power saving in addressing of a DRAM device. SOLUTION: A random access memory device includes an array of individual memory cells arranged into rows and columns, and each memory cell has a corresponding access device. Assuming N as the number corresponding to the number of independently accessible partitions of the array, each row of the array further includes a corresponding plurality of N word lines, and each access device in a given row is coupled to only one of the N word lines of the rows. An address decoder communicating with the array receives a plurality of row address bits, and determines which of the N partitions in a requested row must be accessed on the requested row identified by the row address bits, and does not activate the access device within the selected row but not within the partition to be accessed.
