Abstract
Technology for a memory pool arbitration apparatus is described. The apparatus can include a memory pool controller (MPC) communicatively coupled between a shared memory pool of disaggregated memory devices and a plurality of compute resources. The MPC can receive a plurality of data requests from the plurality of compute resources. The MPC can assign each compute resource to one of a set of compute resource priorities. The MPC can send memory access commands to the shared memory pool to perform each data request prioritized according to the set of compute resource priorities. The apparatus can include a priority arbitration unit (PAU) communicatively coupled to the MPC. The PAU can arbitrate the plurality of data requests as a function of the corresponding compute resource priorities.
