Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A memory module is responsive to control signaling for a random access memory (RAM) module, and performs translation of received memory addresses so that it can map a relatively small address space of an operating system to a larger physical address space of its storage arrays. The memory module can therefore be employed in systems requiring a large amount of memory, such as systems using many processors, without requiring specialized operating systems for addressing the larger physical address space.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A memory module comprising: a volatile storage array; a non-volatile storage array; an interface to receive control signaling indicative of a memory access request, the control signaling formatted for accessing a random access memory (RAM) memory module; and a controller to access one of the volatile storage array and the non-volatile storage array based on a first memory address of the memory access request. 2 . The memory m…
