Abstract
Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, machine readable mediums, memory devices, and memory controllers that detect memory hotspots. The system keeps a count of a number of memory accesses that were queued waiting for another memory access to that address to finish. The number of memory accesses may be compared to a hotspot criteria to determine one or more memory hotspots. These hotspots may be sent to a processor, which may store the memory hotspots in a file which may be provided to an administrator.
