Patent ID: 10296238

Abstract:
Technologies for accessing memory devices of a memory module device includes receiving a memory read request form a host and reading, in response to the memory read request, a rank of active non-volatile memory devices of the memory module device while contemporaneously accessing a volatile memory device of the memory module device. The volatile memory device shares data lines of a data bus of the memory module device with a spare non-volatile memory device associated with the rank of active non-volatile memory devices. During write operations, each of the rank of active non-volatile memory devices and the spare non-volatile memory device associated with the rank of active non-volatile memory devices are written to facilitate proper wear leveling of the non-volatile memory devices. The spare non-volatile memory device may replace a failed non-volatile memory devices of the rank of active non-volatile memory devices. In such an event, the volatile memory device is no longer contemporaneously accessed during read operations of the rank of active non-volatile memory devices.
