    Abstract: There is provided a method for verifying a full drive as an error check processing of a storage drive, but along with the increase in capacity of the storage drive, there are cases where error check cannot be executed before using the storage area. In the present invention, quantity of use of data is estimated, and the storage areas corresponding to the estimated quantity are verified periodically. By verifying the storage area to be used in advance before actual data use, the occurrence of error can be prevented without having to execute a check of the full drive.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring hardware observation points within a System on a Chip (SoC) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a monitoring system includes observers electrically coupled to corresponding hardware observation points. For each observation time period, the observer receives events from a corresponding hardware observation point and outputs observation data indicative of the number of events received. Each observer operates in the same clock and power domain as the corresponding hardware observation point. The hardware monitoring system includes collectors; each collector receives the observation data from a corresponding observer for the observation time period(s). Each collector updates a value of a live-counter based on the observation data and outputs the value of the live-counter. By counting the number of events at the hardware observation points, the monitoring system can enable detailed runtime monitoring, which can be used, e.g., for optimizing future hardware iterations and to support software power optimizations.

    Abstract: User interfaces are provided that display application energy usage information to a user. Application energy usage information may be displayed as an energy meter user interface that provides derived information (e.g., power and time used to determine energy usage) that is not available through a traditional activity monitor. For example, energy usage information is provided for an application running in isolation, taking into account energy usage based on what the application is doing and not what the rest of the system is doing (e.g., shows CPU wakes in isolation of any other processes). Each of a series of energy bars is presented as an energy utilization metric that includes at least one of a utilization portion and a wake tax portion, combined to represent to represent total energy utilization.

    Abstract: When performing a read operation on a non-volatile memory device which includes a plurality of memory sections each corresponding to a plurality of data units, the read count of a specific memory section and the error bits of its corresponding data units are monitored for determining whether data relocation should be perform. When the read count of the specific section exceeds a read count threshold and the error bits of any corresponding data unit exceeds an error threshold, data is moved from the specific memory section to another memory section of the non-volatile memory device, thereby preventing read disturbance from occurring in the specific memory sections.
