    摘要: A memory system includes a memory controller with a plurality N of memory-controller blocks, each of which conveys independent transaction requests over external request ports. The request ports are coupled, via point-to-point connections, to from one to N memory devices, each of which includes N independently addressable memory blocks. All of the external request ports are connected to respective external request ports on the memory device or devices used in a given configuration. The number of request ports per memory device and the data width of each memory device changes with the number of memory devices such that the ratio of the request-access granularity to the data granularity remains constant irrespective of the number of memory devices.

    摘要: Techniques for increasing bandwidth in port-per-module memory systems having mismatched memory modules are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, the techniques are realized through a memory controller for controlling access to a memory module, wherein the memory module has a memory component with a memory core for storing data therein. The memory controller comprises a first set of interface connections for providing access to the memory module, and a second set of interface connections for providing access to the memory module. The memory controller also comprises memory access circuitry for providing memory access signals to the memory module for selecting between a first mode wherein a first portion of the memory core is accessible through the first set of interface connections and a second portion of the memory core is accessible through the second set of interface connections, and a second mode wherein both the first portion and the second portion of the memory core are accessible through the first set of interface connections.
