Abstract: The present invention provides a DRAM/NVM hierarchical heterogeneous memory system with software-hardware cooperative management schemes. In the system, NVM is used as large-capacity main memory, and DRAM is used as a cache to the NVM. Some reserved bits in the data structure of TLB and last-level page table are employed effectively to eliminate hardware costs in the conventional hardware-managed hierarchical memory architecture. The cache management in such a heterogeneous memory system is pushed to the software level. Moreover, the invention is able to reduce memory access latency in case of last-level cache misses. Considering that many applications have relatively poor data locality in big data application environments, the conventional demand-based data fetching policy for DRAM cache can aggravates cache pollution.
