MEMORY MODULES FOR TWO-DIMENSIONAL MAIN MEMORY

摘要

In one embodiment of the invention, a memory module is disclosed including a printed circuit board with an edge connector; an address controller coupled to the printed circuit board; and a plurality of memory slices. Each of the plurality of memory slices of the memory module includes one or more memory integrated circuits coupled to the printed circuit board, and a slave memory controller coupled to the printed circuit board and the one or more memory integrated circuits. The slave memory controller receives memory access requests for the memory module from the address controller. The slave memory controller selectively activates one or more of the one or more memory integrated circuits in the respective memory slice in response to the address received from the address controller to read data from or write data into selected memory locations in the memory integrated circuits.
