Adaptive fabric allocation for local and remote emerging memories based prediction schemes

Abstract

Methods, apparatus and systems for adaptive fabric allocation for local and remote emerging memories-based prediction schemes. In conjunction with performing memory transfers between a compute host and memory device connected via one or more interconnect segments, memory read and write traffic is monitored for at least one interconnect segment having reconfigurable upstream lanes and downstream lanes. Predictions of expected read and write bandwidths for the at least one interconnect segment are then made. Based on the expected read and write bandwidths, the upstream lanes and downstream lanes are dynamically reconfigured. The interconnect segments include interconnect links such as Compute Exchange Link (CXL) flex buses and memory channels for local memory implementations, and fabric links for remote memory implementations. For local memory, management messages may be used to provide telemetry information containing the expected read and write bandwidths. For remote memory, telemetry information is provided to a fabric management component that is used to dynamically reconfigure one or more fabric links.
