Abstract:
A memory module includes memory devices arranged in ranks and columns and designated in first and second groupings, the first grouping includes memory devices arranged in only a first rank nearest a memory controller and directly connected to the memory controller, the memory devices in the second grouping are indirectly connected to the memory controller via a corresponding memory device in the first grouping arranged in a same column, and each memory device selectively provides either self-data retrieved from a constituent memory core or other-data retrieved from a memory core of another memory device during the read operation.
Abstract:
An optical transmission converter comprises a wavelength selector configured to output a reception wavelength selection signal and a transmission wavelength selection signal in response to a wavelength control signal, an opto-electrical converter configured to convert a selection optical signal into a reception electrical signal based on a reception optical signal from a host device and the reception wavelength selection signal, and an electro-optical converter configured to convert a transmission electrical signal into a transmission optical signal based on the transmission wavelength selection signal and the transmission electrical signal.
Abstract:
A memory system includes a memory controller and a memory device. The memory device includes a first converter and a first power controller. The memory device is connected to the memory controller through a channel including at least one optical signal line. The first converter converts between at least one optical signal of the at least one optical signal line and at least one internal electrical signal of the memory device. The first power controller controls power consumption of the first converter based on an operating state of the memory device.
Abstract:
A memory system includes a memory controller, and first through fourth memory modules. The first memory module is directly connected to the memory controller through a first memory bus and exchanges first data with the memory controller through the first memory bus. The second memory module is directly connected to the memory controller through a second memory bus and exchanges second data with the memory controller through the second memory bus. The third memory module is connected to the first memory module through a third memory bus and exchanges the first data with the memory controller through the first and third memory buses. The fourth memory module is connected to the second memory module through a fourth memory bus and exchanges the second data with the memory controller through the second and fourth memory buses.
