Abstract

Inventive aspects include a heterogeneous unified memory section, which includes an extended unified memory space across a plurality of physical heterogeneous memory modules. A cold page reclamation logic section can receive and prioritize cold pages from a system memory. The cold pages can include a first subset of memory pages having a first type of memory data and a second subset of memory pages having a second type of memory data. For example, the cold pages can include anon-type memory pages and file-type memory pages. A dynamic tuning logic section can manage space allocation within the extended unified memory space. An intelligent page sort logic section can distribute the cold pages among different pools of physical heterogeneous memory modules based on varying characteristics of the pools, and based on the assigned priorities.
