Abstract
Methods and apparatus related to supporting both DDR (Double Data Rate) and NVM (Non-Volatile Memory) DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) on the same memory slot are described. In one embodiment, a DIMM comprises volatile memory and non-volatile memory, and data is communicated with the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory via a single memory slot. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Claims26
An apparatus comprising:
- a Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) to comprise volatile memory and non-volatile memory,
- wherein a single memory slot provides data communication with the volatile memory or the non-volatile memory.
A method comprising:
- communicating data with volatile memory of a DIMM and non-volatile memory of the DIMM via a single memory slot.
A computer system comprising:
- a display device;
- a Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), coupled to the display device, the DIMM to comprise volatile memory and non-volatile memory,
- wherein data is to be communicated with the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory via a single memory slot.
