MEMORY MIGRATION IN PRESENCE OF LIVE MEMORY TRAFFIC

摘要

A method for memory migration between addressing schemes, including: receiving a first request to access a first memory address and a second request to access a second memory address; comparing the first memory address and the second memory address with a barrier pointer referencing a barrier address and separating migrated addresses and un-migrated addresses; tagging the first request with a first tag indicative of the first addressing scheme in response to the first memory address being on an un-migrated side of the barrier address; tagging the second request with a second tag indicative of the second addressing scheme in response to the second memory address being on a migrated side of the barrier address; and sending the first request to a first memory controller unit (MCU) and the second request to a second MCU.
