Abstract: A device (e.g., an application-specific integrated circuit chip) includes a memory module processing unit and an interface. The memory module processing unit is configured to receive an instruction to obtain values stored in one or more memory components and process the obtained values to return a processed result. The memory module processing unit is also configured to store the obtained values in a cache based on one or more criteria. The memory module processing unit is configured to be included on a computer memory module configured to be installed in a computer system. The interface is configured to communicate with the one or more memory components included on the computer memory module.

Abstract: An apparatus may comprise a cache file having a plurality of cache lines and a hit predictor. The hit predictor may contain a table of counter values indexed with signatures that are associated with the plurality of cache lines. The apparatus may fill cache lines into the cache file with either low or high priority. Low priority lines may be chosen to be replaced by a replacement algorithm before high priority lines. In this way, the cache naturally may contain more high priority lines than low priority ones. This priority filling process may improve the performance of most replacement schemes including the best known schemes which are already doing better than LRU.
