    Abstract: Embodiments of a method, device, and system for implementing multi-level memory with direct access are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes designating an amount of a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) in a computer system to be utilized as a memory alternative for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The method continues by designating a second amount of the NVRAM to be utilized as a storage alternative for a mass storage device. Then the method re-designates at least a first portion of the first amount of NVRAM from the memory alternative designation to the storage alternative designation during operation of the computer system. Finally, the method re-designates at least a first portion of the second amount of NVRAM from the storage alternative designation to the memory alternative designation during operation of the computer system.

    Abstract: The bus structure comprises both a parallel bus (35) and a series bus (37), which connect to one another data processing units (25, 26) and peripheral devices (30), jointly referred to as "stations", in order to permit the interchange of data and messages at high speed using a minimum of "handshake" events before the actual data transmission. The serial and parallel bus protocols are controlled by message control devices (44, 50), which are coupled to each participating station. A local bus (56) is coupled to processing stations (25, 26) within the system in such a way that access can be made to local memories (54) and secondary processing resources (57) without adversely affecting the data traffic via the parallel bus (35). A direct access by other bus stations to resources (54) coupled to the local bus (56) of one station is likewise controlled by the message control device (44).
