Extractions: Our research focuses on the characteristics of memory hardware errors and their implications on software systems. A plethora of research works can be found on memory fault tolerance. Often times researchers use accelerated tests in their controlled environments to collect data. We have taken a different approach to conduct field tests that monitor computers in real time and record the actual errors happening on them. Memory errors can be categorized as soft errors and hard errors. Soft errors are also known as transient errors, which refer to those errors that are caused by environmental factors only and would not have lasting effects on memory hardware. Hard errors (or permanent errors) include those that are due to real hardware defects. We discovered that in each of our measured environments, the soft error rates are orders of magnitude lower than previously reported on a per Mbit basis. In the server farm at Ask.com , we have found quite a few hard errors. We made some error rate/pattern analysis in our USENIX'07 and HotDep'07 papers. Our recent

For information about developing device drivers for a specific type of device, see Windows CE Drivers For execution of software on a networked media device (NMD), your hardware must have 32-bit wide SDRAM with a minimum frequency of 100 MHz. To provide a better user experience with smoother audio and video playback, use more SDRAM to buffer more audio and video data. Additionally, having more SDRAM allows more applications to execute in parallel on the target device. The following table shows the required and recommended amounts of SDRAM. RAM requirement level NMD DVR Required 32 MB 32 MB Recommended 64 MB 128 MB ROM or flash stores the operating system (OS) and the application software. It can be 16 or 32-bits wide. You can use NAND-based or NOR-based flash. You can use other media, such as a hard disk drive, to store the run-time image. Keep in mind that due to moving parts, hard disk drives are less reliable than solid-state media. You must reserve 2 MB of ROM or flash for the boot loader. In the boot loader, you must implement a master reset method for all ROM or flash memory, which includes the file system and the registry.
How To Diagnose Memory (Hardware) Issues On DELL Servers Sometimes it may be necessary to find out whether there are any issues with the memory or other hardware components on a server. Typically it is recommended to http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/06/how-to-diagnose-memory-hardware-issues-on-de

Create bootable CD Execute the memory test Graphics based diagnostics Go to support.dell.com Run the EW5091A1.EXE and follow the directions to create a bootable Dell Diagnostics CD as shown below (1) Welcome Screen: This displays all the PowerEdge and PowerVault models that are supported by this particular diagnostics tool. (4) Create Bootable CD: Specify whether you want to directly burn to CD (or) create an ISO image. I burned it to a CD. (1) Dell Diagnostics Menu: Once you burn a bootable Dell Diagnostics CD, insert it to the server where you want to perform the memory test and reboot. This will display the Diagnostics Menu with the following four options. (2) MpMemory diagnostics : Select Option 1 to perform the memory test. This will perform various memory test and display a summary of the test. In the example shown below, all the test were conducted successfully and MpMemory did not find any issues with the memory on the DELL Server. If any of the memory test failed, please work with DELL support to get the memory replaced.

Virtual Memory Hardware Characteristics of Virtual Memory. Memory references within a process are logical addresses dynamically translated to physical addresses at runtime. http://faculty.juniata.edu/rhodes/os/ch8a.htm
Extractions: Virtual Memory Hardware Page last updated Resident set - the pages or segments of a process that are in real memory. Real memory - the actual physical memory of the hardware Virtual memory - the perceived memory space for a process. Locality is the reason VM works so well. The nature of program execution is that most often a memory reference is one that has recently been accessed or is one that is very close to a recently accessed location. Figure 8.1 is a classic mapping of paging behavior, demonstrating the existence of locality.

One or more central processing units are provided with transactional memory hardware that is operable to accelerate virtualization. The transactional memory hardware has a facility to maintain private state, a facility to render memory ... Abstract (continued...): accesses from other central processing units visible to software, and support for atomic commit of the private state. The transactional memory hardware can be used, for example, to facilitate emulation of precise exception semantics. The private state is operable to enable an emulated state to remain inconsistent with an architectural state and only synchronized on certain boundaries. An optimized sequence of instructions is executed using chunk-accurate simulation to try and achieve a same end effect.

State isolation can be facilitated by providing isolated private state on transactional memory hardware and storing the stack of a host that is performing an emulation in the isolated private state. Memory accesses performed ... Abstract (continued...): by a central processing unit can be monitored by software to detect that a guest being emulated has made a self modification to its own code sequence. Transactional memory hardware can be used to facilitate dispatch table updates in multithreaded environments by taking advantage of the atomic commit feature. An emulator is provided that uses a dispatch table stored in main memory to convert a guest program counter into a host program counter. The dispatch table is accessed to see if the dispatch table contains a particular host program counter for a particular guest program counter.

I've already tried disabling/enabling memory remapping, as well as setting default bios settings; I've updated the bio to latest version. I can't seem to a solution. Even if the videocard 'requires' a reservoir of memory, does it really need an extra 2gb? At startup, I notice that POST only shows 2gb of ram, though windows and pcwizard says my computer has 4gb
