Techniques for accelerating memory access operations

Abstract:

A computer system includes a processor circuit, first and second memory systems, and a configurable memory assistance circuit. The processor circuit is used to run at least one application. The application issues a memory access operation. The configurable memory assistance circuit is in communication with the first and second memory systems and the processor circuit. The configurable memory assistance circuit accelerates the memory access operation for the application using data as the data is in transit between the first and second memory systems.
