Abstract
A system for mapping memory of a computer system includes a sorter, a partitioner, and a mapper. The sorter sorts a physical memory space to obtain a sorted virtual memory space, where the physical memory space includes a plurality of memory patterns, wherein each of the plurality of memory patterns is associated with a physical device and includes at least one memory block, wherein the at least one memory block is contiguous and addressable, and the plurality of memory patterns are arranged based on a predefined number of occurrences of each memory pattern, size of contiguous memory address ranges in each of the plurality of memory patterns, size of contiguous memory address ranges in each of the plurality of memory patterns, and arrangement of contiguous address ranges in each of the plurality of memory patterns. The partitioner partitions the plurality of memory patterns in the sorted memory space based on a partition size to obtain a partitioned virtual memory space, and a mapper transposes the partitioned virtual memory space to obtain a system memory space used by the computer system.
