Abstract:
Aspects of a prefetch module for high throughput memory transfers is described. Data stored in a row buffer of a memory device can be quickly transferred over a serial link to a prefetch buffer. In one example, a number of respective serial links can be used to transfer the data stored in several row buffers of respective memory devices to the prefetch buffer. In the prefetch buffer, all the data from the memory devices is stored in a data cache. Once the data is cached at the prefetch buffer, a memory controller can access it more quickly in any suitable way. As compared to conventional approaches, the embodiments can be relied upon to avoid a significant amount of latency in memory read and write operations with memory modules.

Claim (Index 9):
A method to prefetch data, comprising:\n receiving, from a memory controller, a request for data associated with an address; determining whether a data cache contains the data associated with the address based on a comparison of the address with a tag address stored in a tag memory and a validity bit for the tag address stored in the tag memory; based on a determination that the data cache does not contain the data associated with the address, opening a row of memory in at least one of a plurality of memory devices on a memory module based on the address, the row of memory being associated with a plurality of columns of memory; receiving, by a serdes, data from the plurality of columns of memory; caching the data from the plurality of columns of memory in a data cache; and returning the data from the data cache to the memory controller.
