Abstract
A computer architecture provides both a parallel memory bus and serial memory bus between a processor system and memory. Latency-tolerant memory access requests are steered to the serial memory bus which operates to increase the available memory bus bandwidth on the parallel memory. The invention also provides integrated circuit computer memory suitable for this application.
