Abstract
Cache memory for resistive switching memory modules is provided herein. The cache memory can reside on a separate DIMM from the resistive switching memory, in some embodiments, or can share a common DIMM with the resistive switching memory. Cache management protocols are provided to service read and write policies for managing interaction of data between the cache memory and the resistive switching memory. In various embodiments, memory controllers are optimized for physical characteristics of resistive switching memory, and cache management protocols can be implemented to take advantage of these characteristics.
