Apparatus and method of optimizing memory transactions to persistent memory using an architectural data mover

A method comprising:

• creating, by an application core of a processor, a descriptor for a move operation;
• generating, by a management controller of a data mover, a transaction layer packet (TLP) hint when the descriptor includes a write operation to a persistent memory;
• and
• performing, by a hardware logic block disposed between the data mover and a memory controller of the processor, an automatic persistent write based from the TLP hint associated with the write operation, wherein the automatic persistent write to the persistent memory is performed without the processor performing the write operation.

An information handling system having optimized memory transactions, comprising:

• an application core of a processor, the application core is configured to create a descriptor;
• a data mover to communicate with the application core, the data mover including a management controller that is configured to read the descriptor and to generate a transaction layer packet (TLP) hint when the descriptor includes a write operation to a persistent memory;
• and
• a hardware logic block disposed between the data mover and a memory controller of the processor, the hardware logic block that is configured to perform an automatic persistent write based from the TLP hint associated with the write operation, wherein the automatic persistent write to the persistent memory is performed without the processor performing the write operation.
