Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a memory module having a volatile memory, a high speed non-volatile memory, and a non-volatile memory. The memory module can allow write mirroring to the volatile memory and high speed non-volatile memory simultaneously. An I/O request is received. A determination is made whether the I/O request is a write or a read. In response to determining that the I/O request is a read, data included in the high speed non-volatile memory is transferred to the non-volatile memory. In response to determining that the I/O request is a write, at least one location to write data of the write is determined based on decoding bits of the write command. The data of the write can then be written to the at least one location.
