ABSTRACT:
A memory subsystem may include logic to make available to the device into which it is installed at least one portion of the volatile memory that will be backed up to the nonvolatile memory in the event of device power failure. The logic may make available to the device at least one portion of the volatile memory that will not be backed up to the nonvolatile memory in the event of device power failure, and make available to the device at least one portion of the nonvolatile memory that is not reserved for backups from the volatile memory.
