Abstract
In a general aspect, a hybrid memory system with cache management is disclosed. In some aspects, a memory access request is transmitted by operation of a host memory controller to a memory module via a memory interface. Whether to execute the memory access request is determined by operation of the memory module according to one or more specifications of the memory interface. In response to determining the memory access request cannot be executed according to the one or more specifications of the memory interface, the host memory controller is notified by the memory module and halted. Respective actions are performed by operation of the memory module based on the memory access request and a type of the memory module.
