Embodiment
Basic thought of the present invention is: the mapping relations that visit closeness and refresh interval, refreshing frequency are set; Calculate the visit closeness, determine refresh interval and refreshing frequency according to visit closeness of being calculated and set mapping relations, refresh according to determined refresh interval and refreshing frequency control random access memory, in the stipulated time of refreshing requirement, finish and refresh refreshing of requirement stipulated number.
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
Random access memory generally all has the requirement of refreshing, and promptly requires to finish refreshing of stipulated number at the appointed time, as requires to finish in the time at T and refresh for N time etc.Therefore, basic thought of the present invention is meant in each stipulated time, and according to the visit closeness, control refreshes random access memory, during stipulated number in refreshing frequency reaches this stipulated time, waits for the arrival of next stipulated time.
In addition, in order to ensure finishing refreshing of stipulated number at the appointed time, time critical values can be set, in order to when reaching time critical values, not finish under the situation that stipulated number refreshes, the control random access memory is finished refreshing of residue degree in excess time, afterwards, wait for the arrival of next stipulated time.
Wherein, the visit closeness computing method can for: set in advance the sampling clock periodicity, be recorded in this sampling clock periodicity, the clock periodicity that random access memory is accessed, calculate the number percent that the accessed clock periodicity of random access memory takies the sampling clock periodicity, obtain visiting closeness.
Perhaps, the visit closeness computing method can also for: set in advance the sampling clock periodicity, be recorded in this sampling clock periodicity the clock periodicity of random access memory free time; The clock periodicity that calculates the random access memory free time takies the number percent of sampling clock periodicity, obtains visiting closeness.
Be described in detail below in conjunction with the method for refreshing of specific embodiment random access memory among the present invention.
In the present embodiment,, be provided with time critical values in order to guarantee to finish refreshing of stipulated number at the appointed time.And in the present embodiment, set in advance and calculate the required sampling clock periodicity of visit closeness.
Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the method for refreshing process flow diagram of random access memory in the embodiment of the invention.This flow process comprises the steps:
The method to set up of the mapping relations of visit closeness and refresh interval, refreshing frequency is as follows:
According to refreshing requirement and roughly visit situation or experience, the mapping relations of visit closeness and refresh interval, refreshing frequency are set, during actual the setting, the mapping relations of the interval and refresh interval of the scope of visit closeness, refreshing frequency can be set, promptly when the visit closeness that calculates some when interval, can next time or continuously down several times (refreshing frequency) all refresh according to certain time interval (refresh interval), as the mapping relations table shown in the table one can be set:
| The value of visit closeness X | Refresh interval | Refreshing frequency |
| 0<X≤20 | P1 | N1 |
| 20<X≤40 | P2 | N2 |
| 40<X≤60 | P3 | N3 |
| 60<X≤80 | P4 | N4 |
| 80<X≤100 | P5 | N5 |
Table one
To visit closeness in the table one and be divided into 5 intervals, and each an interval corresponding refresh interval value and a refreshing frequency value.In the practical application, the division in scope interval can have a variety of, and the value of P1 to P5 and N1 to N5 also can have a variety of, specifically can carry out interval division and value according to actual conditions, is that example describes with division in the table one and value only in the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, when the visit closeness be positioned at the interval (0,20] time, corresponding refresh interval is P1, refreshing frequency is N1, promptly visit closeness be positioned at the interval (0,20] time, carry out N1 time refresh, and the refresh interval time is P1 at every turn.Afterwards, refresh accordingly according to new visit closeness and refresh interval thereof and refreshing frequency again.Identical therewith for other visit closeness in the table one with the relation of its refresh interval and refreshing frequency, repeat no more herein.
Wherein, the visit closeness can be actual access time density, also can be actual free time density.
The method to set up of sampling clock periodicity is as follows:
The sampling clock periodicity can carry out corresponding value according to actual conditions, to be operated in 100MHz, refreshing requirement is example for refresh 4096 times SDRAM in 64ms, be to be 64ms the stipulated time, stipulated number is 4096 times, according to frequency of operation and refresh requirement to calculate the time interval of on average refreshing be 1562 clock period at every turn.In this step, when the sampling clock periodicity is set, can be set to about 1/10th of the average time interval of at every turn refreshing, as choosing 100 clock period as the sampling clock periodicity; Perhaps, also can rule of thumb be worth in the practical application, the sampling clock cycle is provided with.
The method to set up of time critical values is as follows:
For being provided with of time critical values two kinds of methods can be arranged, first method is: set in advance static time critical values, in order to ensure refreshing refreshing of requirement stipulated number refreshing to finish in the stipulated time of requirement, can take the most conservative time critical values setting, it is all very big always to visit closeness before this time critical values of i.e. hypothesis arrival, and once refresh all and do not carry out, then need finish all refreshing frequencies in the excess time after critical value.When therefore being provided with, can be provided with, multiply by stipulated number, obtain the required least residue time, deduct the least residue time with the stipulated time then, obtain time critical values with minimum interval according to refresh needed minimum interval at every turn.
Still to be operated in 100MHz, refreshing requirement is example for refresh 4096 times SDRAM in 64ms, suppose to refresh needed minimum interval is 8 clock period at every turn, then refreshing the needed least residue time for 4096 times is 4096 * 8=32768 clock period, be about 0.33ms, therefore time critical values can be set is 64-0.33=63.67ms, for insurance more, can time critical values be set to 63ms, or 62ms etc., guaranteeing to visit smoothly simultaneously, can finish refreshing of residue degree in excess time as long as guarantee.
Second method for the time critical values setting is: dynamically arrange time critical values, promptly along with constantly carrying out of refreshing at the appointed time, variation according to refresh time and refreshing frequency, the needed least residue time of dynamic calculation excess time and residue degree, when excess time greater than and near the needed least residue of residue degree during the time, with this excess time temporarily as the time critical values that refreshes in this stipulated time.Further, a threshold value also can be set, when excess time of dynamic calculation greater than the needed least residue of the residue degree time, and when reaching set threshold value with the difference of least residue time, with this excess time temporarily as the time critical values that refreshes in this stipulated time.
Certainly, when adopting second method that time critical values is set, the calculating of this time critical values and setting are not to be to finish in this step 101, but in whole process flow operation process dynamic calculation, to put in this step and be described, just in order to compare with first method.
Step 102 is calculated the visit closeness, according to the mapping relations that are provided with in visit closeness and the step 101, determines refresh interval and refreshing frequency.
In this step, in the sampling clock periodicity that in step 101, is provided with, the accessed clock periodicity of record random access memory, the clock periodicity that calculates this visit takies the number percent of sampling clock periodicity, obtains visiting closeness; Perhaps by in the sampling clock periodicity, the clock periodicity of record random access memory free time calculates the number percent that this idle clock periodicity takies the sampling clock periodicity, obtains visiting closeness.Concrete which kind of computing method that adopt can determine according to the implication of visit closeness in the table one.
After calculating the visit closeness,, determine refresh interval and refreshing frequency according to the mapping relations that are provided with in visit closeness of being calculated and the step 101.
Step 103 refreshes according to determined refresh interval and refreshing frequency control random access memory.
During specific implementation, can send refresh command to random access memory according to determined refresh interval and refreshing frequency.
Step 104 judges whether to reach time critical values, if do not reach, then execution in step 105; Otherwise, execution in step 106.
If time critical values is to adopt the first method of describing in the step 101 to be provided with, then directly compares judgement in this step and get final product with the quiet hour critical value that is provided with.
If time critical values is to adopt the second method of describing in the step 101 to be provided with, then in this step, then need to judge excess time whether greater than and approach the needed least residue of the residue degree time, if then judge to reach time critical values.Perhaps set in advance threshold value, whether then needed to judge excess time in this step, and reached set threshold value, if then judge to reach time critical values with the difference of least residue time greater than the needed least residue of the residue degree time.
Step 105 judges whether refreshing frequency reaches stipulated number, if then execution in step 107; Otherwise, return execution in step 102.
Step 106 judges whether refreshing frequency reaches stipulated number, if then execution in step 107; Otherwise, execution in step 108.
If time critical values is to adopt the second method of describing in the step 101 to be provided with, then in this step, need not to judge whether refreshing frequency reaches stipulated number, but direct execution in step 108.
Step 107 finishes refreshing in this stipulated time, continues execution in step 109 afterwards.
In this step, if the time critical values that is provided with in the step 101 is 63ms, and when reaching 63ms, finished 4000 times refresh, then controlled random access memory and in last 1ms, finish remaining 96 times.
During specific implementation, can be according to refresh needed minimum interval sends refresh command from residue degree to random access memory at every turn.As being that 8 clock period are example still, then can send a refresh command every 8 clock period to random access memory according to residue degree in the zero hour of excess time with the required minimum interval of random access memory.
Perhaps during specific implementation, send the refresh command of residue degree to random access memory, be about to residue degree and be evenly distributed in excess time according to the average time interval that refreshes in excess time at every turn.With the excess time is 1ms, residue degree be 96 times for example, then 1ms is about 99968 clock period, for 96 times, average each time interval was 99968 a ÷ 96=1041 clock period, to be on the safe side, average time interval can value less than 1041, as value 1000 etc., then can send a refresh command every 1000 clock period to random access memory according to residue degree in the zero hour of excess time.
Above-mentioned two kinds of situations can promptly send first refresh command in the zero hour of excess time.
So far, this flow process finishes.
In the flow process shown in Figure 1, step 103 and step 104 do not have absolute precedence relationship, can be when step 103 be carried out, the time of step 104 is judged.
Wherein, when calculating the visit closeness in the step 102, can carry out in the cycle at the sampling clock after step 103 is finished this refreshing frequency of determining, the sampling clock that also can refresh the last time before carrying out carried out in the cycle.Be exemplified below: if the sampling clock periodicity that sets in advance is 100 clock period, this refresh interval of determining is 1000 clock period, refreshing frequency is 3, when then calculating visit density, can in 100 clock period of finishing after refreshing for the last time, carry out, also can be in 100 clock period of refreshing the last time before carrying out, promptly refresh for the last time carry out before, carry out during refresh interval time timing to 900 clock.
