Abstract
Embodiments of the invention describe an apparatus, system and method for workload adaptive address mapping. Embodiments of the invention may receive a request to initialize a system memory including a plurality of memory banks. Using a plurality of memory address mapping schemes for memory settings for the system memory, a system characterization workload is executed during the initialization of the system memory, the system characterization workload including a plurality of transactions directed towards the system memory. Embodiments of the invention may monitor target addresses of the plurality of transactions directed towards the system memory. One of the plurality of memory address mapping schemes is selected based, at least in part, on the target addresses of the plurality of transactions.
