US Patent 11868262 Methods and systems for distributing memory requests

A memory request, including an address, is accessed. The memory request also specifies a type of an operation (e.g., a read or write) associated with an instance (e.g., a block) of data. A group of caches is selected using a bit or bits in the address. A first hash of the address is performed to select a cache in the group. A second hash of the address is performed to select a set of cache lines in the cache. Unless the operation results in a cache miss, the memory request is processed at the selected cache. When there is a cache miss, a third hash of the address is performed to select a memory controller, and a fourth hash of the address is performed to select a bank group and a bank in memory.
