MEMORY TRANSACTION ORDERING

Machine-readable media, methods, and apparatus are described which order memory transactions to increase utilization of multiple memory channels. In some embodiments, a processor may determine an issue order for memory transactions based on the memory channels that are to service the memory transactions. In some embodiments, the processor attempts to obtain an issue order that minimizes or reduces the number of idle periods experienced by the memory channels. Further, the processor may issue the memory transactions to an external memory controller for servicing in the determined issue order.
