TECHNOLOGIES FOR MEMORY MIRRORING ACROSS AN INTERCONNECT

Abstract:

Technologies for memory mirroring across an interconnect are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a primary memory agent that controls a single memory channel can implement memory mirroring by sending mirrored memory operations to a secondary memory agent over an interconnect. In the illustrative embodiment, the secondary memory agent may not be aware that it is performing mirrored memory operations. The primary memory agent may handle error recovery, scrubbing, and failover to the secondary memory agent.
