Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that collects, by a BIOS (basic input output system), memory information from a first host path to a coherent device memory on a memory expander, wherein the memory expander includes a plurality of host paths, transfers the memory information from the BIOS to an OS (operating system) via one or more OS interface tables, and initializes, by the OS, the memory expander based on the memory information, wherein the memory information includes memory capabilities and configuration settings associated with the memory expander.
