Abstract: In one form, a memory controller includes a command queue, an arbiter, and a replay queue. The command queue receives and stores memory access requests. The arbiter is coupled to the command queue for providing a sequence of memory commands to a memory channel. The replay queue stores the sequence of memory commands to the memory channel, and continues to store memory access commands that have not yet received responses from the memory channel. When a response indicates a completion of a corresponding memory command without any error, the replay queue removes the corresponding memory command without taking further action. When a response indicates a completion of the corresponding memory command with an error, the replay queue replays at least the corresponding memory command. In another form, a data processing system includes the memory controller, a memory accessing agent, and a memory system to which the memory controller is coupled.

Abstract: A system for providing system level sleep state power savings includes a plurality of memory channels and corresponding plurality of memories coupled to respective memory channels. The system includes one or more processors operative to receive information indicating that a system level sleep state is to be entered and in response to receiving the system level sleep indication, moves data stored in at least a first of the plurality of memories to at least a second of the plurality of memories. In some implementations, in response to moving the data to the second memory, the processor causes power management logic to shut off power to: at least the first memory, to a corresponding first physical layer device operatively coupled to the first memory and to a first memory controller operatively coupled to the first memory and place the second memory in a self-refresh mode of operation.
