Abstract
The present disclosure relates to low-layer memory for a computing platform. An example embodiment includes a memory hierarchy being directly connectable to a processor. The memory hierarchy includes at least a level, referred to as L, memory structure comprising a non-volatile memory unit as Ldata memory and a buffer structure (L-VWB). The buffer structure includes a plurality of interconnected wide registers with an asymmetric organization, wider towards the non-volatile memory unit than towards a data path connectable to the processor. The buffer structure and the non-volatile memory unit are arranged for being directly connectable to a processor so that data words can be read directly from either of the Ldata memory and the buffer structure (L-VWB) by the processor.
