  • Page stream sorter with dynamic binning
    Patent number: 7664907
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for dynamic binning, in which a stream of requests to access a memory is sorted into a reordered stream that enables efficient access of the memory. A page stream sorter can group requests to access a memory in a manner that results in some “locality” in the stream of requests issued from the page stream sorter to memory, such that as few pages as possible in the same bank are accessed and/or a number of page switches needed is minimized.
