Abstract
A chip multi-processor (CMP) with virtual domain management. The CMP has a plurality of tiles each including a core and a cache, a mapping storage, a plurality of memory controllers, a communication bus interconnecting the tiles and the memory controllers, and machine-executable instructions. The tiles and memory controllers are responsive to the instructions to group the tiles into a plurality of virtual domains, each virtual domain associated with at least one memory controller, and to store a mapping unique to each virtual domain in the mapping storage.
