Abstract
A system includes a processor and memory including one or more memory region groups, each including a plurality of distinct memory regions. In embodiments, each memory region of a particular memory region group has a same set of memory attributes and is associated with a same attribute group identifier (AGI). In response to an access request to a memory location of a memory region within the particular memory region group, the AGI may be used to identify the set of memory attributes to be applied when executing the access request. In response to a request to change one or more memory attributes of the particular memory region group, update of a single entry changes the memory attributes for all memory regions of the particular memory region group, without accessing individual metadata of each memory region. The update can be accomplished atomically and substantially simultaneously.
