Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods involving centralized memory management capable of allocating and de-allocating memory for all subsystems dynamically. One embodiment involves a base substrate, a logic die(s) on the base substrate and having a subsystem(s), a memory die(s) having a memory module(s), a memory management unit, a first data interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one logic die, a second data interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one memory die, a configuration interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one memory die, where the configuration interface includes face-to-face connections, a control interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one logic die, where the memory die(s) and the logic die(s) are arranged in a stacked configuration on the base substrate, and the memory management unit is adapted for managing memory accesses from the subsystem(s) by negotiating an allowed memory access with the subsystem(s) via the control interface and configuring the at least one memory module according to the allowed memory access via the configuration interface.
