Abstract

A translator circuit translates a memory access conforming to a native FB-DIMM (Fully Buffered Dual In-Line Memory Module) protocol to a memory access for addressing more than two ranks of parallel memory devices. The parallel memory devices are distributed among plural non-fully-buffered DIMMs (Dual In-Line Memory Modules).
