Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for hierarchical memory systems are described. A hierarchical memory system can leverage persistent memory to store data that is generally stored in a non-persistent memory, thereby increasing an amount of storage space allocated to a computing system at a lower cost than approaches that rely solely on non-persistent memory. In an example apparatus, an input/output (I/O) device can receive signaling that includes a command to write to or read data from an address corresponding to a non-persistent memory device, and can determine where to redirect the request. For example, the I/O device can determine to write or read data to and/or from the non-persistent memory device or the persistent memory device based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the data.
