Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for access heatmap implementations at a host device are described. A host device may leverage access operation monitoring that is performed at a memory device, including various examples of signaling and management of monitoring configurations. For example, a memory device may maintain a storage location for tracking access operation occurrence, for which access operations of a given address may be mapped to multiple fields, and for which each field may be associated with access operations of a respective subset of the addresses. In some examples, such registers may be configured or accessed based on indications (e.g., commands, requests) from a host device, which may support dynamic access operation monitoring that is responsive to various operating conditions. In some examples, the host device may perform evaluations based on such minimum values associated with respective addresses to determine a distribution of data across various portions of memory.
