Abstract:
Described herein are embodiments of asymmetric memory management to enable high bandwidth accesses. In embodiments, a high bandwidth cache or high bandwidth region can be synthesized using the bandwidth capabilities of more than one memory source. In one embodiment, memory management circuitry includes input/output (I/O) circuitry coupled with a first memory and a second memory. The I/O circuitry is to receive memory access requests. The memory management circuitry also includes logic to determine if the memory access requests are for data in a first region of system memory or a second region of system memory, and in response to a determination that one of the memory access requests is to the first region and a second of the memory access requests is to the second region, access data in the first region from the cache of the first memory and concurrently access data in the second region from the second memory.
