    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory module which further includes a set of memory devices. The set of memory devices includes a first subset of memory devices and a second subset of memory devices. An address bus is disposed on the memory module, wherein the address bus includes a first segment coupled to the first subset and a second segment coupled to the second subset. An address signal traverses the set of memory devices in sequence. The memory system also includes a memory controller which is coupled to the memory module. The memory controller includes a first circuit to output a first control signal that controls the first subset, such that the first control signal and the address signal arrive at a memory device in the first subset at substantially the same time. The memory controller additionally includes a second circuit to output a second control signal that controls the second subset, such that the second control signal and the address signal arrive at a memory device in the second subset at substantially the same time.

    Abstract: A memory address and a virtual cache identifier are received in association with a request to retrieve data from a cache data array. Context information is selected based on the virtual cache identifier, the context information indicating a first region of a plurality of regions within the cache data array. A cache line address that includes a first number of bits of the memory address in accordance with a size of the first region is generated and, if the cache data array is determined to contain, in a location indicated by the cache line address, a cache line corresponding to the memory address, the cache line is retrieved from the location indicated by the cache line address.

    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, the memory circuit includes first and second data paths on which data is transferred for read and write memory operations and first and second mixer circuits for adjusting the phase of clock signals applied to their inputs. The mixer circuits are cross-coupled so that the outputs of the first and second mixers are both available to both the first and second data paths. One mixer is used to provide a first phase adjusted clock signal for use by the operating circuit and the other mixer is used to provide a second phase adjusted clock signal for use by a following operation whatever that may be.

    Abstract: A signaling system supports main and auxiliary communication channels between integrated circuits in the same direction over a single link. An equalizing transmitter applies appropriate filter coefficients to minimize the impact of intersymbol interference when transmitting the main data over a communication channel. The transmitter modulates at least one of the filter coefficients with the auxiliary data to induce apparent ISI in the transmitted signal. A main receiver ignores the apparent ISI to recover the main data, while an auxiliary receiver detects and demodulates the apparent ISI to recover the auxiliary data. The auxiliary data may be encoded using spread-spectrum techniques to reduce the impact of the auxiliary data on the main data.
