Abstract: A computer system includes physical memory devices of different types that store randomly-accessible data in a main memory of the computer system. In one approach, data is stored in memory at one or more logical addresses allocated to an application by an operating system. The data is physically stored in a first memory device of a first memory type (e.g., NVRAM). The operating system determines an access pattern for the stored data. In response to determining the access pattern, the data is moved from the first memory device to a second memory device of a different memory type (e.g., DRAM).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to a memory system that manages an interface for a volatile memory device and a non-volatile memory device to control memory system power. In one approach, a controller evaluates a demand on memory performance. If the demand of a current computation task needed by the host is high, a DRAM device is powered-up to meet the demand. Otherwise, if the non-volatile memory device is adequate to meet the demand, the DRAM memory is partially or fully-powered down to save power. In another approach, a task performed for a host device uses one or more resources of a first memory device (e.g., DRAM). A performance capability of a second memory device (e.g., NVRAM) is determined. A controller of the memory system determines whether the performance capability of the second memory device is adequate to service the task.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to mitigating unauthorized memory access are described. Mitigating unauthorized memory access can include verifying whether an access command is authorized to access a protected region of a memory array. The authorization can be verified utilizing a key and a memory address corresponding to the access command. If an access command is authorized to access a protected region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command can be activated. If an access command is not authorized to access the protected region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command may not be activated.

Abstract: A computer system stores metadata that is used to identify physical memory devices that store randomly-accessible data for memory of the computer system. In one approach, access to memory in an address space is maintained by an operating system of the computer system. Stored metadata associates a first address range of the address space with a first memory device, and a second address range of the address space with a second memory device. The operating system manages processes running on the computer system by accessing the stored metadata. This management includes allocating memory based on the stored metadata so that data for a first process is stored in the first memory device, and data for a second process is stored in the second memory device.
