A memory module with multiple memory devices includes a buffer system that manages communication between a memory controller and the memory devices. Each memory device supports an access mode and a low-power mode, the latter used to save power for devices that are not immediately needed. The module provides granular power management using a chip-select decoder that decodes chip-select signals from the memory controller into power-state signals that determine which of the memory devices are in which of the modes. Devices can thus be brought out of the low-power mode in relatively small numbers, as needed, to limit power consumption.

The embodiments described herein describe technologies for using the memory modules in different modes of operation, such as in a standard multi-drop mode or as in a dynamic point-to-point (DPP) mode (also referred to herein as an enhanced mode). The memory modules can also be inserted in the sockets of the memory system in different configurations.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed facilitate read-modify-write support in a coherent victim cache with parallel data paths. An example apparatus includes a random-access memory configured to be coupled to a central processing unit via a first interface and a second interface, the random-access memory configured to obtain a read request indicating a first address to read via a snoop interface, an address encoder coupled to the random-access memory, the address encoder to, when the random-access memory indicates a hit of the read request, generate a second address corresponding to a victim cache based on the first address, and a multiplexer coupled to the victim cache to transmit a response including data obtained from the second address of the victim cache.

Memory devices are disclosed. A memory device may include a command and address (CA) interface region including a first CA input circuit configured to generate a first CA output AND a second CA input circuit configured to generate a second CA output. The first CA input circuit and the second CA input circuit are arranged in a mirror relationship. The CA interface region further includes a swap circuit configured to select one of the first CA output and the second CA output for a first internal CA signal and select the other of the first CA output and the second CA output for a second internal CA signal. Memory systems and systems are also disclosed.

A caching system including a first sub-cache and a second sub-cache in parallel with the first sub-cache, wherein the second sub-cache includes: line type bits configured to store an indication that a corresponding cache line of the second sub-cache is configured to store write-miss data, and an eviction controller configured to evict a cache line of the second sub-cache storing write-miss data based on an indication that the cache line has been fully written.

1. The present disclosure is drawn to, among other things, a method for accessing memory using dual standby modes, the method including receiving a first standby mode indication selecting a first standby mode from a first standby mode or a second standby mode, configuring a read bias system to provide a read bias voltage and a write bias system to provide approximately no voltage, or any voltage outside the necessary range for write operation, based on the first standby mode, receiving a second standby mode indication selecting the second standby mode, and configuring the read bias system to provide at least the read bias voltage and the write bias system to provide a write bias voltage based on the second standby mode, the read bias voltage being lower than the write bias voltage.

Techniques are provided for operating a memory package and more specifically to increasing bandwidth of a system having stacked memory. In an example, a system can include a storage device having a first type of volatile memory and a second type of volatile memory, and a host device coupled to the storage device. The host device can issue commands to the storage device to store and retrieve information of the system. The host device can include a memory map of the storage device and latency information associated with each command of the commands. The host can sort and schedule pending commands according to the latency information and can intermix commands for the first type of volatile memory and commands for the second type of volatile memory to maintain a high utilization or efficiency of a data interface between the host device and the storage device.
