1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a memory abstraction unit configured for abstracting naming of memory access requests from one or more clients to naming at one or more memory devices, the memory abstraction unit comprising;

    abstracted memory protocol logic for interpreting the memory requests from the one or more clients;

    mapping logic for translating an address defined by the naming of the memory access request by a requesting client of the one or more clients to a virtual physical address at a selected protection zone in at least one of the one or more memory devices; and

    memory control logic for accessing the one or more memory devices at the virtual physical address;

    wherein the selected protection zone has been previously defined and allocated to the requesting client by the memory abstraction unit.
