Abstract
A cold data detector circuit includes a bubble break register that is configured to detect cold data in a memory system including main memory and secondary memory. The bubble break register selectively shifts received segment addresses to fill empty slots without having to wait until the empty slots are shifted out an end slot, and may provide an indication of cold data in response to every slot of the register being filled with a different respective segment address.
