ABSTRACT:
A memory addressing approach that logically relocates memory units based on their relative performance, independent of the physical location of the memory units in the computer system. The present invention operates in a computer system having a bus coupled to drive multiple memory units. The bus has memory address control signals addressing a predetermined address range. Memory type detection logic identifies at least the fastest of the memories. The mapping means of the invention then redirects the memory address control signals on the bus such that the fastest of the memory units is addressed by addresses at one end of the address range.
