An apparatus includes a processor, configured to designate a memory region in a memory, and to issue (i) memory-access commands for accessing the memory and (ii) a conditional-fence command associated with the designated memory region. Memory-Access Control Circuitry (MACC) is configured, in response to identifying the conditional-fence command, to allow execution of the memory-access commands that access addresses within the designated memory region, and to defer the execution of the memory-access commands that access addresses outside the designated memory region, until completion of all the memory-access commands that were issued before the conditional-fence command.

An apparatus comprises memory access circuitry to access a memory system; a plurality of memory mapped registers, including at least an insert register and a producer pointer register; and control circuitry to perform an insert operation in response to receipt of an insert request from a requester device sharing access to the memory system. The insert request specifies an address mapped to the insert register and an indication of a payload. The insert operation includes controlling the memory access circuitry to write the payload to a location in the memory system selected based on a producer pointer value stored in the producer pointer register, and updating the producer pointer register to increment the producer pointer value.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a flush request for a metadata page stored in a storage array of a multi-node storage system. The flush request may be queued on a flush request lock queue on at least one node of the multi-node storage system. One or more flush requests may be processed, via multiple nodes of the multi-node storage system, on the metadata page based upon, at least in part, the flush request lock queue.

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for memory management are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, memory management is provided for a heterogenous system, for example, a system including a CPU and a GPU, in which redundant or unnecessary memory transfers are reduced.

A method includes sampling input/output requests from a host to generate sampled input/output requests; classifying the sampled input/output requests into clusters using an unsupervised learning algorithm; determining a hot data range based on a characteristic of the clusters; and incorporating the determined hot data range into a hot data table.

A computing device, including a processor; a memory, wherein the memory is accessible for memory operations via a range of logical memory addresses; a peripheral interface including a first control register; and a peripheral address remapping module configured to determine that the peripheral interface is unused for interfacing with a peripheral; determine a first memory address for accessing the first control register; determine a first logical memory address, the first logical memory address outside of the range of logical memory addresses for accessing the memory; and map the first logical memory address to the first memory address, wherein the first control register is accessible for memory operations using the first logical memory address.

A method for streaming live video includes encoding a video stream on a server, where the server is connected to a client through a network. The server receives a request from the client for a memory address of a first video frame and checks if the memory address of the first video frame has been bit shifted in a direct mapped memory buffer to determine if the first video frame is available. The server provides a memory address of an output video frame to the client in response to the request.

Examples include techniques associated with mapping system memory physical addresses to proximity domains. Examples include mapping system memory physical addresses for a memory coupled with a multi-die system to proximity domains that include cores of a multi-core processor and the associated level 3 (L3) cache for use by each core included in a respective proximity domain. The mapping is to facilitate cache line ownership of a cache line in an L3 cache by an input/output device or agent located on a separate die from the multi-core processor.

A refresh tracking circuit and associated methods are disclosed herein. The tracking circuit may be configured to track a primary count value and a secondary count value based on addresses associated with received commands. The primary and secondary count values may be configured to control corresponding refresh operations respectively associated with a primary address and a secondary address.

In described examples, a processor system includes a processor core that generates memory write requests, a cache memory, and a memory pipeline of the cache memory. The memory pipeline has a holding buffer, an anchor stage, and an RMW pipeline. The anchor stage determines whether a data payload of a write request corresponds to a partial write. If so, the data payload is written to the holding buffer and conforming data is read from a corresponding cache memory address to merge with the data payload. The RMW pipeline has a merge stage and a syndrome generation stage. The merge stage merges the data payload in the holding buffer with the conforming data to make merged data. The syndrome generation stage generates an ECC syndrome using the merged data. The memory pipeline writes the data payload and ECC syndrome to the cache memory.
