A method, apparatus and program product enable associativity operations for system including a processor having directly attached memory. A memory expander microchip facilitates concurrent memory access while attached to a processor. Associativity may have particular application in the context of accessing a data cache, which may be present on the memory expander microchip or memory in communication with the microchip. The memory expander microchip and associated memory channels may provide additional bandwidth and memory capacity for the system to enable associativity in a manner that does not burden the attached processor or associated operating system. Bandwidth and memory may be dynamically allocated to optimize associativity and applicable operating ratios.
