IP3 2023 – Memory (LOT 14624)

This lot is generally related to a technique to manage virtual addresses in a memory and implement various ache eviction policies to enhance performance, cost and efficiency. Disclosed is a technique to gather a virtual address of a memory by comparing the virtual address to contents of programmable hardware resources. The system determines a particular virtual address modification policy which can be applicable to the virtual address. The determined virtual modification policy has a no modification policy and a modification policy based on Morton ordering. The system selectively modifies the virtual address to generate a modified virtual address and executes a memory reference instruction by a processor. The technology may be implemented in memory management systems, cache memory control systems, etc.
