Abstract

An aspect includes memory access optimization for an I/O adapter in a processor complex. A memory block distance is determined between the I/O adapter and a memory block location in the processor complex and determining one or more memory movement type criteria between the I/O adapter and the memory block location based on the memory block distance. A memory movement operation type is selected based on a memory movement process parameter and the one or more memory movement type criteria. A memory movement process is initiated between the I/O adapter and the memory block location using the memory movement operation type.
