Abstract
Embodiments relate to address mapping including generic bits. An aspect includes receiving an address including generic bits from a memory control unit (MCU) by a buffer module in a main memory. Another aspect includes mapping the generic bits to an address format corresponding to a type of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) in a memory subsystem associated with the buffer module by the buffer module. Yet another aspect includes accessing a physical location in the DRAM in the memory subsystem by the buffer module based on the mapped generic bits.
