Abstract: A system including an agent and a memory controller, in which the agent may initiate transactions targeting a memory to which the memory controller is coupled and the transactions may include a page hint indication. The page hint indication is transmitted during the transaction by the agent, and may be an indication of whether or not the page addressed by the transaction should be kept open or closed. The memory controller may receive the page hint indication. When accessing the storage location(s) in the memory in response to the memory transaction, the memory controller may close the page or keep the page open responsive to the page hint indication.
