Abstract
A system for implementing a non-volatile input/output (I/O) device based memory can include an interface configured to receive a processor request specifying a data unit. The data unit can be specified by a processor address. The system can include an address-data converter coupled to the interface. The address-data converter can be configured to correlate the processor address of the data unit to a data block within the non-volatile I/O device. The system further can include an I/O controller coupled to the address-data converter. The I/O controller can be configured to issue a non-volatile I/O device command specifying the data block to the non-volatile I/O device.
