Abstract:

A system including memory and a resource controller. The memory includes a first memgroup and a second memgroup, wherein the first memgroup comprises a first physical page mapped to a virtual page, and wherein the second memgroup comprises a second physical page. The resource controller is configured to receive a request to stop the first memgroup, instruct a memory power management subsystem to mark the first memgroup as stopped in response to receiving the request to stop the first memgroup, wherein no free pages are allocated from the first memgroup after the first memgroup is marked as stopped, remap the virtual page to the second physical page in response to the marking the first memgroup as stopped, and reduce power to the first memgroup in response to a determination that the first physical page is not mapped to the virtual page.
