Disclosed are a memory extension system and method. The system comprises: a processor, an extended memory, an extended chip, and multiple processor installation positions, a memory installation position being disposed on each processor installation position. The multiple processor installation positions are inter-connected by using a QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) interface, at least one processor installation position is provided with a processor, and the other at least one processor installation position serves as an extended installation position; the at least one extended installation position is provided with an extended chip; and the extended memory is installed on the memory installation position connected to the extended chip. For the memory extension system, an extended chip is installed on at least one processor installation position to replace a processor, so that an existing processor can access an extended memory of the extended chip by using the extended chip; in this way, a memory capacity of the existing processor is increased without improving a processing capability, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that the processing capability is redundant by adding a processor to extend the memory. |
