Abstract
Methods and apparatus to provide heterogeneous memory die stacking for energy efficient computing are described. In one embodiment, a Phase Change Memory with Switch (PCMS) die is coupled to a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) die and a Central Processing Unit (CPU) die. CPU checkpointing state data is stored in the PCMS die first before transferring the checkpointing data to a backup media at a later and more extended time. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
