ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, data may be transferred from a first memory agent to a second memory agent in a first format having a first width, and at least a critical portion of the data maybe transferred from the second memory agent back to the first memory agent in a second format having a second width, where the critical portion is included in a first frame. The critical portion may include a cacheline mapped over a memory device rank. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
