Abstract
An Address and Command chip of a distributed memory system includes a memory controller, a first communication link, and one or more interface schedulers, where the one or more interface schedulers include a first interface scheduler residing communicatively between the memory controller and the first communication link. The first interface scheduler is configured to receive a first communication directed from the memory controller to the first communication link; capture the first communication before the first command reaches the first communication link; postpone the first communication for a first set of one or more memory cycles; and reissue the first communication to the first communication link in association with a first cycle offset code indicating how many memory cycles the first command was postponed.
