More Information
Summary:Systems and methods are provided for supporting use of non-volatile memory (NVM) on a double data rate (DDR) memory channel for an information handling system so that non-volatile memory devices (e.g., such as Phase Change Memory "PCM" devices) may be employed for main memory usage. In one possible implementation, information handling system memory reads may be managed directly in hardware as memory semantics via use code, while memory writes may be separately handled, e.g., via an operating system (OS)/driver. In another possible implementation, both DRAM-based and NVM-based memory systems may be populated for an information handling system.
