Simulator for enterprise-scale simulations on hybrid main memory systems

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations during simulation of an application interacting with a hybrid memory system, the operations comprising:

• providing a first range of virtual addresses corresponding to a first type of memory in the hybrid memory system, and a second range of virtual addresses corresponding to a second type of memory in the hybrid memory system;
• receiving a data packet that is to be stored in the hybrid memory system;
• determining a virtual address assigned to the data packet, the virtual address being provided in cache block metadata associated with the data packet;
• and
• storing the data packet in one of the first type of memory and the second type of memory in the hybrid memory system based on the virtual address, the first range of virtual addresses, and the second range of virtual addresses.
