    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently powering down banks in a cache memory for reducing power consumption. A computing system includes a cache array and a corresponding cache controller. The cache array includes multiple banks, each comprising multiple cache sets. In response to a request to power down a first bank of the multiple banks in the cache array, the cache controller selects a cache line of a given type in the first bank and determines whether a respective locality of reference for the selected cache line exceeds a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, then the selected cache line is migrated to a second bank in the cache array. If the threshold is not exceeded, then the selected cache line is written back to lower-level memory.

    Abstract: Described is a system and method for a multi-level memory hierarchy. Each level is based on different attributes including, for example, power, capacity, bandwidth, reliability, and volatility. In some embodiments, the different levels of the memory hierarchy may use an on-chip stacked dynamic random access memory, (providing fast, high-bandwidth, low-energy access to data) and an off-chip non-volatile random access memory, (providing low-power, high-capacity storage), in order to provide higher-capacity, lower power, and higher-bandwidth performance. The multi-level memory may present a unified interface to a processor so that specific memory hardware and software implementation details are hidden. The multi-level memory enables the illusion of a single-level memory that satisfies multiple conflicting constraints. A comparator receives a memory address from the processor, processes the address and reads from or writes to the appropriate memory level. In some embodiments, the memory architecture is visible to the software stack to optimize memory utilization.

    Abstract: A die-stacked memory device incorporates a data translation controller at one or more logic dies of the device to provide data translation services for data to be stored at, or retrieved from, the die-stacked memory device. The data translation operations implemented by the data translation controller can include compression/decompression operations, encryption/decryption operations, format translations, wear-leveling translations, data ordering operations, and the like. Due to the tight integration of the logic dies and the memory dies, the data translation controller can perform data translation operations with higher bandwidth and lower latency and power consumption compared to operations performed by devices external to the die-stacked memory device.

    Abstract: The described embodiments comprise a selection mechanism that selects a resource from a set of resources in a computing device for performing an operation. In some embodiments, the selection mechanism performs a lookup in a table selected from a set of tables to identify a resource from the set of resources. When the resource is not available for performing the operation and until another resource is selected for performing the operation, the selection mechanism identifies a next resource in the table and selects the next resource for performing the operation when the next resource is available for performing the operation.
