Abstract
A computing system can include a processor and a memory. The computing system can also include a memory controller to interface between the processor and the memory. The memory controller coalesces requests to access a memory row to form a single request to access the memory row.
Claims15
A computing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- and
- a memory controller to interface between the processor and the memory, the memory controller to coalesce requests to access a memory row to form a single request to access the memory row.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- receiving, in a memory controller, a request to access a memory row;
- determining if a request to access the memory row is present in a memory controller work flow;
- and
- coalescing a received request with the request in the memory controller work flow to form a single request to access the memory row.
1 more element
A memory system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a memory controller to access the memory, comprising:
- a work flow;
- and
- a work flow manager to determine a memory row to which a memory access request refers and to coalesce the request with a memory access request in the work flow which refers to the memory row to form a single request to access the memory row.
