Abstract:
1. A method for determining a read strobe pulse delay for data read from a memory having a plurality of memory chips, each one of the chips providing data along with an associated read strobe pulse, the data read from each one of the plurality of chips being stored in a corresponding one of a plurality of storage devices in response to the read strobe pulse associated with such one of the plurality of chips, comprising: (a) storing data written into the memory from the plurality of resources having a predetermined address into both the memory and into a local memory device; (b) monitoring requests for the memory from a plurality of resources and from a strobe delay training system; (c) granting the strobe delay training system access to the memory in response to a request from such training system; (e) operating the access granted strobe delay training system to determine the read strobe pulse delay; and (d) subsequently writing the data stored in the local memory device back into the memory at the predetermined location.
