ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, there is disclosed a system and method for mapping memory addresses to system memory by establishing the size and location of each memory rank within the system memory, establishing a total size of said system memory, and fitting each said memory rank into the system memory block by using a highest power of 2 fitting rule for each iteration such that each highest power of 2 for each iteration controls the allocation of memory ranks for each such iteration.
