Abstract

A method is disclosed for providing memory bus timing of a load reduction dual inline memory module (LRDIMM). The method includes: determining a latency value of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) of the LRDIMM; determining a modified latency value of the DRAM that accounts for a delay caused by a load reduction buffer (LRB) that is deployed between the DRAM and a memory bus; storing the modified latency value in a serial presence detector (SPD) of the LRDIMM; and providing memory bus timing for the LRDIMM based on the modified latency value, wherein the memory bus timing is compatible with a registered dual inline memory module (RDIMM).
