Dynamic memory scheduling routine with enhanced bank-group batching

Abstract:

A method for dynamic memory scheduling with enhanced bank-group batching is described. The method includes determining a read-bank group-spread of each rank, as a number of bank-groups of each respective rank targeted by at least one read instruction. The method further includes determining a write-bank group-spread of each rank, as a number of bank-groups of each rank targeted by at least one write instruction. The method also includes stalling a current batch of read instructions in a rank when the read-bank group-spread of the rank is less than a predetermined value. The method further includes stalling a current batch of write instructions in a rank when the write-bank group-spread of the rank is less than the predetermined value.
