Abstract:
A computer system stores metadata that is used to identify physical memory devices that store randomly-accessible data for memory of the computer system. In one approach, access to memory in an address space is maintained by an operating system of the computer system. Stored metadata associates a first address range of the address space with a first memory device, and a second address range of the address space with a second memory device. The operating system manages processes running on the computer system by accessing the stored metadata. This management includes allocating memory based on the stored metadata so that data for a first process is stored in the first memory device, and data for a second process is stored in the second memory device.
