Abstract: A memory controller operable for selective memory access to areas of memory exhibiting different attributes leverages different memory capabilities that vary access speed, retention time and power consumption, among others. Different areas of memory have different attributes while remaining available to applications as a single contiguous range of addressable memory. The memory controller employs an operating mode that identifies operational priorities for a computing device, such as speed, power conservation, or efficiency. The memory controller identifies an area of memory based on an expected usage of the data stored in the area, for example an access frequency indicating future retrieval. The memory controller therefore selects areas of memory based on the operating mode and the expected usage of data to be stored in the area according to a heuristic that favors areas of memory based on those exhibiting attributes having a high correspondence to the expected usage of the data.

Abstract: A system monitors and dynamically changes memory mapping in a runtime of a computing system. The computing system has various memory resources, and multiple possible mappings that indicate how data is to be stored in and subsequently accessed from the memory resources. The performance of each memory mapping may be different under different runtime or load conditions of the computing device. A memory controller can monitor runtime performance of the current memory mapping and dynamically change memory mappings at runtime based on monitored or observed performance of the memory mappings. The performance monitoring can be modified for any of a number of different granularities possible within the system, from the byte level to memory channel.

Abstract: A data processing arrangement including a plurality of processing units. Each processing unit has a processing element, a data memory, a fill level unit, and a control unit. The processing element processes data stored in the data memory, or the data memory stores results of data processing performed by the processing element. The fill level unit generates a fill level signal signaling an amount of data stored in the data memory. The control unit controls processing power of the processing element based on the fill level signal.

Abstract: In accordance with the present description, cache operations for a memory-sided cache in front of a backing memory such as a byte-addressable non-volatile memory, include combining at least two of a first operation, a second operation and a third operation, wherein the first operation includes evicting victim cache entries from the cache memory in accordance with a replacement policy which is biased to evict cache entries having clean cache lines over evicting cache entries having dirty cache lines. The second operation includes evicting victim cache entries from the primary cache memory to a victim cache memory of the cache memory, and the third operation includes translating memory location addresses to shuffle and spread the memory location addresses within an address range of the backing memory. It is believed that various combinations of these operations may provide improved operation of a memory. Other aspects are described herein.
