Abstract
A computer system includes a memory controller and a non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM) connected to the memory controller. The NVDIMM comprises a non-volatile memory (NVM) for storing data and a media controller. After receiving a read command for reading first data stored in the NVDIMM from the memory controller, the media controller reads multiple data subblocks of the first data from the NVM. After sending multiple ready signals to notify the memory controller that multiple data subblocks of the first data are available, the media controller receives multiple send commands for fetching the multiple data subblocks. The media controller then transmits to the memory controller the multiple data subblocks in response to the multiple send commands.
