    摘要: A memory system includes a first memory module and a second memory module. A memory controller is coupled to the first and second memory modules and reads configuration information from the first and second memory modules using a memory channel. The controller also configures a switch coupled between the controller and one of the memory modules to communicate using either a chip select line or a memory address line.

    摘要: A software assist module of a system memory coupled to a host processor provides the ability to offload software operations from the host processor. The software assist module includes a first memory accessed by the host processor via a first chip select signal. The software assist module also includes a software assist controller accessed by the host processor via a second chip select signal. The software assist controller is configured to intercept data related to a software function offloaded from the host processor, where the data is intercepted from a first chip select signal used to access the first memory. The software assist controller utilizes the intercepted data to perform the offloaded function. Based on configuration instructions provided by the host processor via the second chip select signal, the software assist module performs the offloaded function incrementally as function data is intercepted or as a single operation after all data for a function has been intercepted.
