Abstract
Random access memory (RAM) is attached to an input/output (I/O) controller of a chipset (e.g., on a motherboard). This chipset attached RAM is optionally used as part of a tiered storage solution with other tiers including, for example, nonvolatile memory (e.g., a solid state drive (SSD)) or a hard disk drive. The chipset attached RAM is separate from the system memory, allowing the chipset attached RAM to be used to speed up access to frequently used data stored in the tiered storage solution without reducing the amount of system memory available to an operating system running on the one or more processing units.
