Abstract
Approaches for implementing a controller for a hybrid memory that includes a main memory and a cache for the main memory are discussed. The controller comprises a hierarchy of abstraction layers, wherein each abstraction layer is configured to provide at least one component of a cache management structure. Each pair of abstraction layers utilizes processors communicating through an application programming interface (API). The controller is configured to receive incoming memory access requests from a host processor and to manage outgoing memory access requests routed to the cache using the plurality of abstraction layers.
