Abstract

A data processing system having at least one memory module and at least one data accessing control unit, wherein the data accessing control unit provides a first memory control signal for requesting a start of a memory module and a second memory control signal for preventing a start thereof. Each memory module includes means responsive to the first and second memory control signals and to a busy signal generated by the module, for starting the module when the state of the busy signal indicates the module is not currently in operation and the state of the second memory control signal indicates the module is not to be prevented from starting.
