ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for providing remote pre-fetch buffers. The systems include a computer memory system with a memory controller, one or more memory busses connected to the memory controller, and at least one memory subsystem in communication with the memory controller via the memory busses. The memory controller generates, receives and responds to memory access requests including unsolicited data transfers. The memory subsystem includes one or more memory devices and logic to initiate an unsolicited data transfer to the memory controller based on analysis performed at the memory subsystem of prior memory access requests received by the memory subsystem.
