Abstract
System, method and apparatus to partition physical memory for a device are described.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory subsystem having physical memory divided into a plurality of partitions, said memory subsystem comprising a partition table, wherein said partition table comprises entries to specify a section of said memory subsystem that can be shared by said processor;
- and
- a processor to connect to said memory subsystem, said processor comprising a partition access register, said processor to access said plurality of said partitions in accordance with said partition table and said partition access register.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory subsystem having physical memory divided into a plurality of partitions, said memory subsystem comprising a partition table;
- and
- a processor to connect to said memory subsystem, said processor comprising a partition access register, said processor to access said plurality of said partitions in accordance with said partition table and said partition access register, wherein said partition access register comprises an active partition register and at least one shared partition register to define a number of partitions said processor can access.
A system, comprising:
- an antenna;
- a transceiver to connect to said antenna;
- and
- a processing system to connect to said transceiver, said processing system including a processor and a memory subsystem, said memory subsystem to include physical memory divided into a plurality of partitions, said memory subsystem to include a partition table, wherein said partition table comprises entries to specify a section of said memory subsystem that can be shared by said processor;
- and said processor to connect to said memory subsystem, said processor to include a partition access register, said processor to access said plurality of said partitions in accordance with said partition table and said partition access register.

A system, comprising:
- an antenna;
- a transceiver to connect to said antenna;
- and
- a processing system to connect to said transceiver, said processing system including a processor and a memory subsystem, said memory subsystem to include physical memory divided into a plurality of partitions, said memory subsystem to include a partition table;
- and said processor to connect to said memory subsystem, said processor to include a partition access register, said processor to access said plurality of said partitions in accordance with said partition table and said partition access register, wherein said partition access register comprises an active partition register and at least one shared partition register to define a number of partitions said processor can access.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- designating a section of memory within a plurality of partitions as shareable outside an active partition;
- and
- defining a type of sharing permitted for said active partition in a partition table register.
An article, comprising:
- a storage medium;
- said storage medium including stored instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to designate a section of memory within a plurality of partitions as shareable outside an active partition, and to define a type of sharing permitted for said active partition in a partition table register.
