- Reduced latency in data processing
- Enhanced overall system performance
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and techniques for a memory-side cache directory-based request queue are described herein. A memory request is received at an interface of a memory device. One or more fields of the memory request are written into an entry of a directory data structure. The identifier of the entry is pushed onto a queue. To perform the memory request, the identifier is popped off of the queue and a field of the memory request is retrieved from the entry of the directory data structure using the identifier. Then, a process on the memory request can be performed using the field retrieved from the entry of the directory data structure.
