ABSTRACT:
A memory subsystem includes volatile memory and nonvolatile memory, and logic to interrupt a power down save operation of the memory subsystem upon detection of a restoration of system power, and to enable use of the memory subsystem by the system if sufficient nonvolatile memory capacity of the memory subsystem is available to backup an amount of the volatile memory capacity of the memory subsystem.
