Abstract
The present invention is directed to a memory that allows two simultaneous read requests with improved density. In an aspect of the present invention, a memory module includes at least two primary memory sub-modules and an additional memory sub-module including a sum of values located in the at least two primary memory sub-modules at corresponding addresses. The sum of the additional memory module enables at least two simultaneous read requests to be performed.
Claims25
A memory module, comprising:
- at least two primary memory sub-modules;
- and
- an additional memory sub-module including a plurality of addresses, wherein at an address x of the plurality of addresses, the additional memory sub-module includes a bitwise XOR sum of values located in the at least two primary memory sub-modules at corresponding addresses.
A memory module, comprising:
- at least two primary memory sub-modules;
- and
- an additional memory sub-module including a sum of values located in the at least two primary memory sub-modules at a corresponding address, wherein the sum of the additional memory module enables at least two simultaneous read requests to be performed.
A semiconductor, comprising:
- a memory module having
- at least two primary memory sub-modules, the primary memory sub-modules having registers for storing data;
- an additional memory sub-module including a sum of values located in the at least two primary memory sub-modules at a corresponding address, wherein the sum of the additional memory module enables at least two simultaneous read requests to be performed;
- and
- a controller which provides communications within the module, the controller connected to data and address inputs of the primary and additional memory sub-modules.
