METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING DATA IN STACKED DRAMS

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus manage data in memories disposed in a stacked relation with respect to one or more processors. The method includes receiving at least one hint indicating future processor usage of a software component, where the future processor usage is indicative of future usage of the one or more processors when executing the software component or a code section of the software component. In some implementations, the method includes selecting a memory location in the memories for data used by the software component based on the hint.
