Allocation of memory buffers in computing system with multiple memory channels

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and system are provided for associating one or more memory buffers in a computing system with a plurality of memory channels. The method can include associating a first memory buffer to a first plurality of memory banks, where the first plurality of memory banks spans over a first set of one or more memory channels. Similarly, the method can include associating a second memory buffer to a second plurality of memory banks, where the second plurality of memory banks spans over a second set of one or more memory channels. The method can also include associating a first sequence identifier and a second sequence identifier with the first memory buffer and the second memory buffer, respectively. Further, the method can include accessing the first and second memory buffers based on the first and second sequence identifiers.
