Abstract:
1. A method for writing to a Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), the DIMM having a plurality of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) devices, the method comprising: determining whether there is at least one partial write request associated with a first DRAM device of the plurality of DRAM devices; if there is at least one partial write request associated with the first DRAM device, determining, in response to the at least one partial write request, whether there is at least one full write request associated with a second DRAM device of the plurality of DRAM devices, wherein the second DRAM device is different from the first DRAM device; if there is at least one partial write request associated with the first DRAM device and there is at least one full write request associated with the second DRAM device, parsing data associated with the at least one full write request associated with the second DRAM device into a first portion and a second portion; outputting a first partial write command to the DIMM, the first partial write command associated with the first portion; and outputting a second partial write command to the DIMM, the second partial write command associated with the second portion.
