System for Performing Error Correction Operations in a Memory Hub Device of a Memory Module

摘要

A memory system is provided for performing error correction operations in a memory module. The memory system comprises a memory hub device integrated in the memory module and a set of memory devices coupled to the memory hub device. The memory hub device comprises a link interface integrated into the memory hub device that provides a communication pathway between an external memory controller and the set of memory devices. The memory hub device also comprises error correction logic integrated in the memory hub device and coupled to the link interface. The error correction logic performs error correction operations on data transferred between the link interface and the set of memory devices. The memory hub device transmits and receives data via a memory channel between the external memory controller and the link interface without any error correction code.
