SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UNIFORM INTERLEAVING OF DATA ACROSS A MULTIPLE-CHANNEL MEMORY ARCHITECTURE WITH ASYMMETRIC STORAGE CAPACITY

摘要

Systems and methods for uniformly interleaving memory accesses across physical channels of a memory space with a non-uniform storage capacity across the physical channels are disclosed. An interleaver is arranged in communication with one or more processors and a system memory. The interleaver identifies locations in a memory space supported by the memory channels and is responsive to logic that defines virtual sectors having a desired storage capacity. The interleaver accesses the asymmetric storage capacity uniformly across the virtual sectors in response to requests to access the memory space.

1. A method for uniformly interleaving memory accesses to a memory space having anon-uniform storage capacity across physical channels, the method comprising:
identifying when a multiple-channel memory architecture is provided an asymmetric storage capacity across the physical channels; using logic responsive to the identifying to define a number of virtual sectors of equal capacity; and applying an interleaving function via an interleaver that accesses the asymmetric storage capacity uniformly across the virtual sectors in response to requests to access the memory space.
