A memory translation hub comprising a memory channel interface, a memory bus interface, and a command generator coupled to the memory channel interface and to the memory bus interface. The memory channel interface receives a memory control packet from a memory channel. The memory bus interface provides a memory bus. The command generator causes the memory bus interface to provide memory control signals on the memory bus responsive to the memory control packet.

Method and apparatus for supporting SDRAM memory

The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and system for dynamically changing the sizes of power-control pools that are used to control the power consumption levels of memory devices. In one embodiment, a request to change the sizes of the memory power-control pools is received. In response to receiving the request to change the sizes of the memory power-control pools, the memory devices are placed in a specific operating mode or power state after being refreshed in a periodic refresh cycle. In response to a signal indicating that all memory devices have been placed in the specific operating mode, powercontrol pools are resized according to pool size values corresponding to the request received.
