FIELD OF INVENTION

Embodiments relate generally to memory in computer systems. More particularly, embodiments are related to managing memory in computer systems.

BACKGROUND

Many computing systems include a central processor and main memory (e.g., random-access memory external to the processor). For example, one type of main memory is dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The processor may read data and instructions from the main memory, and may write execution results to the main memory. The data stored in main memory is usually accessed by using a memory address.
