Abstract
A computer system is adapted to transfer write data from a central processing unit to one of a plurality of memory modules in a memory array by transferring a block of write data to a memory control logic device. The memory control logic device transfers the block of data in a plurality of data bursts interspaced by a preselected number of bus cycles. During the interspaced preselected number of bus cycles, the memory control logic device sends pending read commands to an available memory module thereby overlapping read and write operations on the memory bus, thus, lowering memory read latency.
