MEMORY MODULES AND MEMORY SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

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.
