A memory module comprises a volatile memory subsystem configured to coupled to a memory channel in computer system and capable of serving as main memory for the computer system, a non-volatile memory subsystem providing storage for the computer system, and a module controller coupled to the volatile memory subsystem, the non-volatile memory subsystem, and the C/A bus. The module controller is configured to control intra-module data transfers between the volatile memory subsystem and the non-volatile memory subsystem. The module controller is further configured to monitor C/A signals on the C/A bus and schedule the intra-module data transfers in accordance with the C/A signals so that the intra-module data transfers do not conflict with accesses to the volatile memory subsystem by the memory controller.
A memory module for use in a computer system, the computer system including a memory controller coupled to the memory module via a system bus, the system bus including a data bus and a control/address (C/A) bus, comprising:
A method performed by a memory module coupled to a memory controller via a system bus in a computer system, the system bus including a data bus and a control/address (C/A) bus, the memory module including a volatile memory subsystem, a non-volatile memory subsystem, the method comprising:
