Providing an arrangement of memory devices to enable high-speed data access

摘要

A memory subsystem includes multiple memory modules coupled by point-to-point links. A memory controller is coupled by a point-to-point link to a first memory module, which is turn is coupled by another point-to-point link to another memory module. Further memory modules may be coupled by respective point-to-point links in the memory subsystem. In some arrangements, each memory module tracks commands issued to other memory modules, such as more upstream memory modules. Also, in one example implementation, a clock is embedded within a data stream transmitted over a point-to-point link, so that an external clock is not employed in this example implementation.
