摘要： A memory translation hub comprising a memory channel interface, a memory bus interface, and a command generator coupled to the memory channel interface and to the memory bus interface. The memory channel interface receives a memory control packet from a memory channel. The memory bus interface provides a memory bus. The command generator causes the memory bus interface to provide memory control signals on the memory bus responsive to the memory control packet.

摘要： The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and system for dynamically changing the sizes of power-control pools that are used to control the power consumption levels of memory devices. In one embodiment, a request to change the sizes of the memory power-control pools is received. In response to receiving the request to change the sizes of the memory power-control pools, the memory devices are placed in a specific operating mode or power state after being refreshed in a periodic refresh cycle. In response to a signal indicating that all memory devices have been placed in the specific operating mode, powercontrol pools are resized according to pool size values corresponding to the request received.
