Abstract
Techniques including receiving configuration information for a trigger control channel of the one or more trigger control channels, the configuration information defining a first one or more triggering events, receiving a first memory management command, store the first memory management command, detecting a first one or more triggering events, and triggering the stored first memory management command based on the detected first one or more triggering events.
Claims20
A processing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a cache memory coupled to the one or more processors;
- and
- a memory controller comprising:
- one or more trigger control channels configured to:
- receive configuration information for a trigger control channel of the one or more trigger control channels, the configuration information defining a first one or more triggering events;
- receive a first memory management command;
- store the first memory management command;
- detect the first one or more triggering events;
- and
- trigger the stored first memory management command based on the detected first one or more triggering events.
A memory controller device coupled to one or more processors, the memory controller device comprising:
- one or more trigger control channels configured to:
- receive configuration information for a trigger control channel of the one or more trigger control channels, the configuration information defining a first one or more triggering events;
- receive a first memory management command;
- store the first memory management command;
- detect the first one or more triggering events;
- and
- trigger the stored first memory management command based on the detected first one or more triggering events.
A method for accessing memory by a memory controller, comprising:
- receiving configuration information for a trigger control channel of one or more trigger control channels, the configuration information defining a first one or more triggering events;
- receiving a first memory management command;
- storing the first memory management command;
- detecting the first one or more triggering events;
- and
- triggering the stored first memory management command based on the detected first one or more triggering events.
