LOCATING A MEMORY UNIT ASSOCIATED WITH A MEMORY ADDRESS UTILIZING A MAPPER

A mapper within a single-level memory system may facilitate memory localization to reduce the energy and latency of memory accesses within the single-level memory system. The mapper may translate a memory request received from a processor for implementation at a data storage entity, where the transl...

Zusammenfassung:A mapper within a single-level memory system may facilitate memory localization to reduce the energy and latency of memory accesses within the single-level memory system. The mapper may translate a memory request received from a processor for implementation at a data storage entity, where the translating identifies a data storage entity and a starting location within the data storage entity where the data associated with the memory request is located. This data storage entity may be co-located with the processor that sent the request, which may enable the localization of memory and significantly improve the performance of memory usage by reducing an energy of data access and increasing data bandwidth.
