Abstract

A heterogeneous memory system includes a memory device including first and second memories and a controller including a cache. The controller identifies memory access addresses among addresses for memory regions of the memory device; track, for a set period, a number of memory accesses for each memory access address; classify each memory access address into a frequently accessed address or a normal accessed address based on the number of memory accesses in the set period; and allocate the first memory for frequently accessed data associated with the frequently accessed address and the second memory for normal data associated with the normal accessed address.
