More Information
Summary:Techniques of memory operations management are disclosed herein. One example technique includes retrieving, from a first memory, data from a data portion and metadata from a metadata portion of the first memory upon receiving a request to read data corresponding to a system memory section. The method can then include analyzing the data location information to determine whether the first memory currently contains data corresponding to the system memory section in the received request. In response to determining that the first memory currently contains data corresponding to the system memory section in the received request, transmitting the retrieved data from the data portion of the first memory to the processor in response to the received request. Otherwise, the method can include identifying a memory location in the second memory that contains data corresponding to the system memory section and retrieving the data from the identified memory location.
