    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth an abstracted memory subsystem comprising abstracted memories, which each may be configured to present memory related characteristics onto a memory system interface. The characteristics can be presented on the memory system interface via logic signals or protocol exchanges, and the characteristics may include any one or more of, an address space, a protocol, a memory type, a power management rule, a number of pipeline stages, a number of banks, a mapping to physical banks, a number of ranks, a timing characteristic, an address decoding option, a bus turnaround time parameter, an additional signal assertion, a sub-rank, a number of planes, or other memory-related characteristics. Some embodiments include an intelligent register device and/or, an intelligent buffer device. One advantage of the disclosed subsystem is that memory performance may be optimized regardless of the specific protocols used by the underlying memory hardware devices.

    摘要: A memory apparatus includes multiple memory circuits an interface circuit having one or more first components of a first type and one or more second components of a second type different from the first type, each of the one or more first components and second components being electrically couplable to a host system. The interface circuit is operable to present to the host system a simulated memory circuit where there is a difference in at least one aspect between the simulated memory circuit and at least one memory circuit of the plurality of memory circuits. The at least one aspect includes a timing that relates to a refresh operation latency, in which each memory circuit of the plurality of memory circuits is electrically coupled to at least one first component and to at least one second component.
