ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of a method and system for heterogeneous memory control are disclosed. The embodiments include components of a Memory Manager that receive usage information of a memory subsystem of a host system, the memory subsystem including internal memory and external memory. The Memory Manager also receives client information of one or more clients that are coupled to and/or integrated with the host system. A request or call for internal memory is also received at the Memory Manager from the clients. The Memory manager automatically controls the memory in accordance with one or more of the request, the usage information and the client information. The control includes allocating a portion of the internal memory to the client, remapping one or more areas of internal memory from a first client to a second client, and/or reorganizing the memory by remapping external memory to internal memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
