Host bandwidth optimized data stream memory write

Abstract

A system and associated method comprising memory and processing circuitry for writing data from a data stream. The memory has a first memory portion of a first density and a second memory portion of a second density. The processing circuitry receives a write request. The processing circuitry then selects to write the data to the first memory portion based on the characteristics of the data stream, where both the first and second memory portions are available for writing, and the processing circuitry then causes the data to be written to the first memory portion. The processing circuitry may select to write the data to the first memory portion based on the size of the data stream and / or based on the bandwidth for writing the data of the data stream to memory.
