PURPOSE: An improved memory module is provided with a signal processing element, preferably a DSP, at least one bank of a memory chip, preferably first and second banks to be individually addressed and its use in a computer system. CONSTITUTION: The memory module (8) is provided with first and second banks (12, 13) to be respectively addressed of the DSP of the memory chip. The first bank is constituted so as to basically function under control of the signal processing element (36), the second bank is constituted so as to basically function under control of a system memory controller (28), however, all parts of respective memory banks are addressed by both of the signal processing element and the system memory controller. Both banks of the memory chip is placed on at least one high power state and at least one low power state by either of the system memory controller or the DSP. |
