Abstract
A memory module includes a plurality of memory devices and a circuit. Each memory device has a corresponding load. The circuit is electrically coupled to the plurality of memory devices and is configured to be electrically coupled to a memory controller of a computer system. The circuit selectively isolates one or more of the loads of the memory devices from the computer system. The circuit comprises logic which translates between a system memory domain of the computer system and a physical memory domain of the memory module.
