Abstract

A method reduces a cycle time of an individual memory module to an effective cycle time shorter than the cycle time using a plurality of memory modules having a circular sequence. The method includes initiating a set of read operations on different memory modules of the plurality of memory modules in the circular sequence from a first read operation initiated on a first module of the plurality of memory modules to a last read operation initiated on the second module. After initiating each read operation of the set of read operations on a particular memory module of the plurality of memory modules and prior to initiating a next read operation in the set of read operations, the method initiates a set of write operations to write a same value to all of the plurality of memory modules in the circular sequence beginning one memory module after the particular memory module.
