Abstract
Various embodiments are presented herein that reallocate partitions of a shared physical memory between processing units. An apparatus and a computer-implemented method may determine an amount of memory space in the physical memory allocated to a first processing unit during system initialization. The determined amount of the memory space may be consolidated. The consolidated memory space may be allocated to the second processing unit during runtime. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
