Abstract
A heterogeneous memory system includes a main memory arrangement, a first-level cache, a second-level cache, and a memory management unit (MMU). The first-level cache includes an SRAM arrangement and the second-level cache includes a DRAM arrangement. The MMU is configured and arranged to read first data from the main memory arrangement in response to a stored first value associated with the first data and indicative of a start time. The MMU selects one of the first-level cache or the second-level cache for storage of the first data and stores the first data in the selected one of the first or second-level caches. The MMU reads second data from one of the first-level cache or second-level cache and writes the data to the main memory arrangement in response to a stored second value associated with the second data and indicative of a duration.
