Abstract

A processing device identifies a portion of data in a cache memory to be written to a managed unit of a separate memory device and determines, based on respective memory addresses, whether an additional portion of data associated with the managed unit is stored in the cache memory. The processing device further generates a bit mask identifying a first location and a second location in the managed unit, wherein the first location is associated with the portion of data and the second location is associated with the additional portion of data, and performs, based on the bit mask, a read-modify-write operation to write the portion of data to the first location in the managed unit of the separate memory device and the additional portion of data to the second location in the managed unit of the separate memory device.
