    摘要: A method and apparatus for communicating commands and/or data between two different time domains. In one embodiment, multiple memory commands are placed into one or more FIFOs in a manner that specifies the delays that must take place between execution of the different commands. Along with the commands, delay information is placed into the FIFOs, specifying the number of clock cycles, or other form of time delay, that must elapse between execution of a command and execution of a subsequent command. This delay information is used to delay the execution of the subsequent command for the specified time period, while minimizing or eliminating any excess delays. Cue information can also be placed into the FIFOs with the commands to specify which commands must wait for other commands before beginning execution. The delay and cue information is determined and created in the time domain that initiates the transfers. The delays and cueing are executed in the other time domain. Although the different commands may be delivered through different FIFOs and can therefore have unpredictable arrival times with respect to each other, the delay and cueing information maintains the proper execution order and timing between the commands. Interactive control logic at the output of each FIFO uses the timing data to maintain execution in the proper order and with the proper inter-command delays.

    摘要: One embodiment of the invention is a method for decoding a memory access address. A portion of the memory access address is compared to a plurality of boundary values, each of the plurality of boundary values representing an uppermost address for a group of memory devices, each of the memory devices in the group having the same configuration. A group number is generated that represents an addressed group that contains an addressed memory device that contains the memory access address. A device number is generated that represents the location of the addressed memory device within the addressed group. A device selection signal is generated responsive to the group number and the device number.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for use with buffered memory modules are included among the embodiments. In exemplary systems, the memory module has a buffer that receives memory commands and data, and then presents those commands and data to physical memory devices through a separate interface. The buffer has the capability to accept an implicit memory command, i.e., a command that does not contain a fully-formed memory device command, but instead instructs the memory module buffer to form one or more fully-formed memory device commands to perform memory operations. Substantial memory channel bandwidth can be saved, for instance, with a command that instructs a memory module to clear a region of memory or copy a region to a second area in memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
