    Abstract: Unified hardware and software two-level memory mechanisms and associated methods, systems, and software. Data is stored on near and far memory devices, wherein an access latency for a near memory device is less than an access latency for a far memory device. The near memory devices store data in data units having addresses in a near memory virtual address space, while the far memory devices store data in data units having addresses in a far memory address space, with a portion of the data being stored on both near and far memory devices. In response to memory read access requests, a determination is made to where data corresponding to the request is located on a near memory device, and if so the data is read from the near memory device; otherwise, the data is read from a far memory device. Memory access patterns are observed, and portions of far memory that are frequently accessed are copied to near memory to reduce access latency for subsequent accesses.

    Abstract: Examples may include techniques to allocate physical accelerator resources from pools of accelerator resources. In particular, virtual computing devices can be composed from physical resources and physical accelerator resources dynamically allocated to the virtual computing devices. The present disclosure provides that physical accelerator resources can be dynamically allocated, or composed, to a virtual computing device despite not being physically coupled to other components in the virtual device.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to accelerate boot time zeroing of memory based on Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology are described. In an embodiment, a storage device stores a boot version number corresponding to a portion of a non-volatile memory. A memory controller logic causes an update of the stored boot version number in response to each subsequent boot event. The memory controller logic returns a zero in response to a read operation directed at the portion of the non-volatile memory and a mismatch between the stored boot version number and a current boot version number. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
