Volatile memory unit e.g. synchronous dynamic RAM, contents recovering method for computer system, involves carrying out functional access to contents, and retrieving storage location in segments based on segment pointer in case of access

摘要

The method involves storing a part of stored memory contents in a form of segments. A segment pointer is produced for the part of the stored content and referred to a storage location of the respective segments. The pointer is recovered after reactivation of a computer system, and contents of the stored segments are partially restored in a volatile memory unit after reactivation when the contents are functionally accessed. The functional access to the contents is carried out, while the pointer is accessed. The location is retrieved in the segments based on the pointer during the access.
