Method for interleaving memory

摘要

A method of interleaving a first bank of memory with a second bank of memory. The method is executed by a computer system having a memory controller that is coupled to a first plurality of memory devices that contains the first bank and a second plurality of memory devices that contains the second bank. The method includes: configuring the memory controller so that the memory controller is operable to read even and odd bytes of data from and write even and odd bytes of data to the first bank; storing even and odd bytes of data in the first bank; transferring the odd bytes of data from the first bank; and then reconfiguring the memory controller so that the memory controller is operable to read only even bytes of data from and write only even bytes of data to the first bank and the memory controller is operable to read only odd bytes of data from and write only odd bytes of data to the second bank.
