Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods related to computer memory access determination are described. A command can be received at a memory system (e.g., a system with or exploiting DRAM). The command can comprise a memory operation and a plurality of privilege bits. The privilege level or a memory address that is associated with the memory operation can be identified. The privilege level can correspond to the memory address can describe a privilege level that can access the memory address. A determination can be made as to whether the memory operation, or the application requesting certain data or prompting corresponding instructions, is entitled to access to the memory address using the plurality of privilege bits and the privilege level. Responsive to determining that the memory operation has access to the memory address, the memory operation can be processed.
