    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for identifying a memory access resource which is to be a target of an access request. In an embodiment, a processor comprises route tables which are to provide entries corresponding to different respective memory access resources which are coupled to the processor. The processor further comprises a list of items which each correspond to a different respective range of addresses, wherein the items each include an identifier of a respective route table, and an identifier of a respective index offset. Based on an address of the access request, a decoder circuit of the processor searches the list to identify a corresponding one of the items. In another embodiment, the decoder circuit accesses a route table entry, based on the search, to determine how the access request is to be directed to a particular memory access resource.

    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, system, and method to flush modified data from a first memory to a persistent second memory. A first memory controller coupled to the first memory includes at least one RAS controller to read a range of addresses in the first memory. In response to receiving a command from the power control unit, the at least one RAS controller is invoked to read data from at least one range of addresses specified for the RAS controller from the first memory. A second memory controller transfers data read from the first memory determined to be modified to the second memory. The first memory controller sends a signal to the power control unit to indicate that the modified data in the range of addresses specified for the RAS controller was flushed to the second memory in response to the RAS controller completing reading the range of addresses.
