Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a scatter/gather memory approach may be enabled that is exposed or backed by system memory and uses conventional tags and addresses. Thus, such a technique may be more amenable to conventional software developers and their conventional techniques.

Abstract: Determining a class of an object is disclosed. A pointer of the object is obtained. One or more bits that are not implemented as address bits are extracted from the pointer. The one or more bits are interpreted as an identifier of the class of the object. The class of the object is determined to correspond to the identifier.

Abstract: Conversion of an array of structures (AOS) to a structure of arrays (SOA) improves the efficiency of transfer from the AOS to the SOA. A similar technique can be used to convert efficiently from an SOA to an AOS. The controller performing the conversion computes a partition size as the highest common factor between the structure size of structures in AOS and the number of banks in a first memory device, and transfers data based on the partition size, rather than on the structure size. The controller can read a partition size number of elements from multiple different structures to ensure that full data transfer bandwidth is used for each transfer.
