Abstract:
A method of managing power states of memory modules while performing memory access operations is disclosed. Memory modules are in a power saving state until an access operation involving the module is to be performed. The module is placed in an operational mode, then the access operation is performed, then the module is returned to the power saving state. Apparatus and systems using the method are also disclosed and claimed.
