    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, method, and system for just-in-time cache associativity for a cache memory having cache locations as a cache for a non-volatile memory. Data is received for a target address in the non-volatile memory to add to the cache memory. A determination is made of a direct mapped cache location in the cache memory from the a target address in the non-volatile memory. The data for the target address at an available cache location in the cache memory different from the direct mapped cache location is written in response to the direct mapped cache location storing data for another address in the non-volatile memory. The data for the target address in the direct mapped cache location is written in response to the direct mapped cache location not storing data for another address in the non-volatile memory.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, aggregated write back in a direct mapped two level memory in accordance with the present description, aggregates a dirty block or other subunit of data being evicted from a near memory of a two level memory system, with other spatially co-located dirty subunits of data in a sector or other unit of data for write back to a far memory of the two level memory system. In one embodiment, dirty spatially co-located subunits are scrubbed and aggregated with one or more spatially co-located dirty subunits being evicted. In one embodiment, a write combining buffer is utilized to aggregate spatially co-located dirty subunits prior to being transferred to a far memory write buffer in a write back operation. Other aspects are described herein.
