Abstract:
1. A memory module, comprising: a plurality of memory devices; a first connector configured to carry low-speed signals for the memory devices; a second connector configured to carry high-speed signals for the memory devices, wherein the second connector is configured to receive an optical fiber line for carrying the high-speed signals, and the second connector is disposed substantially in a center of the memory module in a longer axis direction such that the memory devices are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the second connector in the longer axis direction; and a converter electrically connected between the second connector and the memory devices, wherein the converter is configured to receive n-bit serial data from the optical fiber line through the second connector, to convert the n-bit serial data into groups of m-bit parallel data, and to output each m-bit parallel data to respective memory devices.
