SHIFTABLE MEMORY DEFRAGMENTATION

摘要

Shiftable memory that supports defragmentation includes a memory having built-in shifting capability, and a memory defragmenter to shift a page of data representing a contiguous subset of data stored in the memory from a first location to a second location within the memory to be adjacent to another page of stored data. A method of memory defragmentation includes defining an array in memory cells of the shiftable memory and performing a memory defragmentation using the built-in shifting capability of the shiftable memory to shift a data page stored in the array.

1. A shiftable memory supporting memory defragmentation comprising:
a memory to store data, the memory having built-in shifting capability to shift only data of a contiguous subset of stored data representing a page of data from a first location to a second location within the memory, the page of data having a size that is smaller than a total size of the memory; and a memory defragmenter to shift the page of data using the built-in shifting capability of the memory, the second location being adjacent to another page of stored data.
