At present, for internal memory allocating method more flexibly is provided to processor system, internal memory is present in the processor system in the memory bar mode usually.That is to say, on the one hand, dynamic RAM (the DRAM of actual storage function will be finished, Dynamic Random access memory) chip is integrated on the printed circuit board (pcb) with standard external interface, form dual inline type internal memory module (DIMM, Dual In-line Memory Module), it is usually said memory bar, on the other hand, the DIMM connector is set on the veneer of processor system, then, DIMM is inserted the DIMM connector of veneer, make that the Memory Controller Hub on the veneer can carry out read and write access to the DIMM that inserts veneer in the processor system.
In processor system, error checking and correction (ECC, Error Check﹠amp; Correct) function is a kind of critical function that guarantees data reliability.Fig. 1 is an apparatus structure synoptic diagram of realizing the ECC function in the prior art.Referring to Fig. 1, because present DIMM can be divided into DIMM that supports the ECC function and the DIMM that does not support the ECC function, therefore, when in processor system, realizing the ECC function, must use the DIMM that supports the ECC function, certainly, the Memory Controller Hub on the veneer also needs to support the ECC function, and the interface signal between each DIMM of Memory Controller Hub and support ECC function can be divided into following several types according to its characteristics:
Clock signal group CK to each DIMM output, provides the work clock of DIMM by Memory Controller Hub, guarantees the clock synchronization of processor system;
Address command signal group ADDR/CMD to each DIMM output, is used for specific address and command information when DIMM provides read-write operation by Memory Controller Hub;
Control signal group CTL, is used for to concrete read operation or the write operation of DIMM indication to each DIMM output by Memory Controller Hub;
Data signal group DQ is exported to the other side respectively by Memory Controller Hub and each DIMM, is used to finish the transmission of data between Memory Controller Hub and DIMM;
ECC data signal group CB is exported to the other side respectively by Memory Controller Hub and each DIMM, is used to finish the transmission of ECC check code between Memory Controller Hub and DIMM.
Referring to Fig. 1, the process of existing techniques in realizing ECC function mainly comprises: when needs are saved in data in the internal memory, Memory Controller Hub is indicated concrete write operation and the pairing DIMM of write operation space by ADDR/CMD signal and CTL signal to DIMM, the data that to store by the DQ signal wire output to the storage space among the corresponding DIMM then, simultaneously, Memory Controller Hub also generates corresponding ECC check code at the data of this storage, by the CB signal line ECC check code is outputed to DIMM; When needs from internal memory during reading of data, Memory Controller Hub is indicated concrete read operation and the pairing DIMM of read operation space by ADDR/CMD signal and CTL signal to DIMM, DIMM exports to Memory Controller Hub by the DQ signal wire with the data of correspondence, simultaneously, the ECC check code of the data correspondence that DIMM also reads this, output to Memory Controller Hub by the CB signal line, Memory Controller Hub is according to the ECC check code that receives from the CB signal line, the data that read from the DQ signal wire are carried out verification, there is mistake if judge the data that read, then can carries out error correction and handle.
By above description as can be seen, the ECC function is a kind of critical function that guarantees data reliability in processor system, in the prior art, when realizing the ECC function in processor system, must use the DIMM that supports the ECC function.But, in the business realizing of reality,, support that the common price of DIMM of ECC function is comparatively expensive, or volume is bigger with respect to the DIMM that does not support the ECC function.When the space of processor system narrow and small, need to use the less DIMM of profile, perhaps, because consideration for cost, when needing to use cheap DIMM, then can only select the DIMM that does not support the ECC function for use, but but make processor system can't realize the ECC function this moment, reduce QoS.
