1. A system comprising:
- a sensor to monitor a power consumption of a non-volatile random access memory (RAM) and a volatile RAM;
a switch, connected to an output of the sensor, to control power to the non-volatile RAM;
a voltage regulator to regulate a voltage of the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM;
one or more memory slots to receive the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM; and
a processor to receive information from the sensor and control the voltage regulator based on the received information.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems may provide a sensor to monitor a power consumption of a non-volatile random access memory (RAM) and a volatile RAM. A switch, connected to an output of the sensor, controls power to the non-volatile RAM, and a voltage regulator regulates a voltage of the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM. One or more memory slots receive the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM, and a processor receives information from the sensor, and controls the voltage regulator based on the received information. The voltage regulator comprises a plurality of registers to store power consumption information of the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM.
