Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for using block windows configured in a memory module to provide block level access to memory chips in the memory module. A plurality of block windows are configured that map to addresses corresponding to the addressable locations in the memory chips. A read/write request is received indicating a requested read or write operation with respect to a target block window comprising one of the block windows. The requested read or write operation is performed with respect to the addresses that map to the target block window.
