技术领域
本申请涉及存储技术领域,尤其涉及一种主板、内存系统及数据传输方法。
背景技术
随着内存技术的发展,内存速率越来越高。目前业界已推出双倍率同步动态随机存储器(Double Data Ratesynchronous dynamic random-access memory,DDR)DDR5,DDR5的速率已提升至4800Mbps。通常电子设备(如服务器)内存的数据传输速率要求都会跟随当前最高工艺。
目前业界主板和DDR的类型是绑定的。举例来说,支持DDR5的主板称为DDR5主板,DDR5主板只能使用DDR5内存。然而目前DDR5内存还不够稳定并且成本较高,如何实现将DDR4用于一个DDR5主板,实现内存使用的灵活性,是一个亟待解决的问题。

除非有相反的说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。
为了便于理解,对本申请实施例涉及的术语进行解释说明,该术语的解释说明也作为对本申请实施例发明内容的一部分。
本申请实施例提供一种内存系统,该内存系统包括第一DDR和主板,该主板支持总线协议为适配于第二DDR的总线协议,该系统可以实现将第一DDR用于与第二DDR适配的主板。其中,所述主板上设置有DDR插槽、数据缓冲器(data buffer,DB)、寄存时钟驱动器(register clock driver,RCD)和中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)插槽,所述DDR插槽与第一DDR适配,DDR插槽可以插入第一DDR,所述DDR插槽与所述CPU插槽之间的总线协议为适配于第二DDR的总线协议,所述RCD用于将来自CPU侧的所述第二DDR的命令转换为所述第一DDR的待执行命令,所述DDR插槽与所述DB、所述RCD连接,所述CPU插槽与所述DB、所述RCD连接,所述CPU插槽可以插入CPU。显然,该内存系统中,CPU输出的第二DDR的命令可以通过第二DDR的总线协议传输,并由RCD转换为第一DDR的待执行命令,并输出至第一DDR中执行,第一DDR执行了第一DDR的待执行命令后,可能会返回数据,返回的数据可以通过第二DDR的总线协议传输至CPU侧。
本申请实施例中,并不限定DDR的类型,下面以第一DDR为DDR4且第二DDR为DDR5为例说明。如图1所示,举例来说,该内存系统包括至少一个DDR4和DDR5主板, DDR5主板中DDR插槽10与所述CPU插槽30之间的总线协议为适配于DDR5的总线协议。其中,至少一个DDR4中DDR4的型号可以相同也可以不同,至少一个DDR4的数量也不做限定,举例来说,可以为1个DDR4,也可以为2个DDR4。DDR5主板上设置了DDR插槽10,举例来说,DDR插槽10可以为DDR5双列直插内存模块(dual inline memory modules,DIMM)插座。DDR5主板上还可以设置内存套片20和CPU插槽30,内存套片20上设置了RCD201和DB202,RCD201可以用于将DDR5命令转换为DDR4命令。DDR插槽10和内存套片20的数量可以设置与DDR4的数量相同。图1中以2个DDR插槽10、2个内存套片20和2个DDR4为例,如1个DDR插槽10对应1个内存套片20,还对应1个DDR4。需要说明的是,图1示出的内存系统只是一种可能的示例,该架构可以根据具体情形灵活增删模块,如也可以不设置内存套片20。
图1示出的内存系统中,CPU插槽30上可以连接一个内存套片20,也可以连接两个内存套片20,至少一个DDR4中每个DDR4对应于一个DDR插槽10和一个内存套片20,DDR4设置于DDR插槽10内,DDR插槽10与内存套片20连接,内存套片20与CPU插槽30连接。
需要说明的是,图1示出的DDR5主板也可以适配原版的第二DDR(DDR5),且在检测到插入DDR插槽10的DDR为DDR5时,屏蔽RCD201和DB202,DDR插槽10与第一DDR转接卡适配,所述第一DDR转接卡用于连接所述第二DDR。
举例来说,DDR4为2个时,DDR插槽10为2个,内存套片20也为2个,2个DDR4分别设置于2个DDR插槽10内,2个DDR插槽10与2个内存套片20一一对应并分别连接,CPU插槽30与2个内存套片20连接。需要说明的是,由于至少一个DDR4中DDR4的类型可以不同,而每个DDR4对应RCD201的设置也需要与DDR4适配,RCD201的动态随机存储器(dynamic random access memory,DRAM)的参数为对应DDR4的参数。需要说明的是,图1示出的内存系统只是一种可能的示例,该架构可以根据具体情形灵活设置各模块的数量。举例来说,CPU插槽30也可以设置连接一个内存套片20,内存系统还可以有多种例子,在此不再赘述。
传统内存系统中,内存套片和DDR一体插在DDR插槽10中。而由图1可知,RCD201和DB202和DDR4是解耦的,即便DDR4损坏,也不会影响RCD201和DB202的有效性,便于DDR的更换。从而内存套片20可以传输DDR4与CPU之间的数据,使得DDR4可以用于DDR5主板,实现了图1中的内存系统。并且由于所述DDR插槽10与所述CPU插槽30之间的总线协议为适配于DDR5的总线协议,可以使得DDR4的数据通过使用高版本DDR的总线协议传输,提升数据传输速率。
如图2所示,RCD201一种可能的架构中,RCD201包括命令/地址(command/address,CA)转换器2011、命令识别模块2012、微控制单元(microcontrollerunit,MCU)2013、多路复用器(multiplexer,MUX)2014和锁相环(phase locked loop,PLL)2015。仍然以第一DDR为DDR4,且第二DDR为DDR5为例,详细说明RCD201的具体结构和功能。
其中,CA转换器2011与命令识别模块2012、MUX2014、PLL2015连接,命令识别模块2012与MCU2013、MUX2014连接,MCU2013与MUX2014连接,上述连接关系可以如图2所示。RCD2011可以完成两个功能:第一个功能,将来自CPU侧的DDR5命令转换为DDR4命令,输出DDR4命令至DDR4;第二个功能,将来自CPU侧的DDR5命 令转换为可编程命令,输出可编程命令至DDR4。并且,MCU2013可以切换实现这两个功能。这两个功能的实现过程可以如下:
第一个功能的实现过程可以如下:
命令识别模块2012与CPU插槽30连接,可以由CPU插槽30将来自CPU侧的DDR5命令输入至命令识别模块2012。命令识别模块2012识别到DDR5命令后,可以将DDR5命令输入至CA转换器2011。CA转换器2011在获取到DDR5命令后,可以将来自CPU侧的DDR5命令转换为DDR4侧的DDR4命令,转换后的DDR4命令用于DDR4识别并执行,CA转换器2011可以将转换后的DDR4命令输出至MUX2014,再由MUX2014将转换后的DDR4命令输出。MUX2014具体可以通过第一组数据引脚将转换后的DDR4命令传输至DB202,再由DB202传输至DDR4,也可以直接通过第一组数据引脚将转换后的DDR4命令输出至DDR4。DDR4命令是由CA转换器直接转换得到的,可以直接用于DDR4。
本申请实施例中,RCD201中的MUX2014上设置第一组数据引脚和第二组数据引脚,第一组数据引脚和第二组数据引脚可以均为双向数据控制引脚(bi-directional data strobe,MDQS/MDQ)。其中,第一组数据引脚用于输出转换后的DDR4命令,第二组数据引脚用于输出转换后的可编程命令。
第二个功能的实现过程可以如下:
可以由CPU插槽30将来自CPU侧的DDR5命令输入至命令识别模块2012。命令识别模块2012识别到DDR5命令后,可以将DDR5命令输入至微控制单元MCU2013。MCU2013在获取到DDR5命令后,可以将来自CPU侧的DDR5命令转换为DDR4侧的可编程命令,转换后的可编程命令用于DDR4识别并执行,MCU2013可以将转换后的可编程命令输出至MUX2014,再由MUX2014输出。MUX2014具体可以将转换后的可编程命令通过第二组数据引脚传输至DDR4。需要说明的是,MUX2014可以根据设置选取将转换后的DDR4命令输出,也可以选择将转换后的可编程命令输出,MUX2014输出可编程命令可以简化操作逻辑,且可以通过编程自定义功能,增强DDR的可操作性。
需要说明的是,图2示出的架构仅为RCD201一种示例,该架构可以根据具体情形灵活增删各部件,以及设置各部件之间的连接关系。举例来说,CA转换器2011也可以与MCU2013连接,可以不设置MUX2014,由MCU2013输出为DDR4命令或可编程命令。图2示出的架构能够提供更多的命令选择,提升了对DDR操作的灵活性。
如图3所示,DB202一种可能的架构中,DB202包括时延调整模块2021、读缓冲寄存器(read buffer,RB)2022、写缓冲寄存器(writer buffer,WB)2023、命令解码器(command decoder,CD)2024、寄存器控制字(register control word,RCW)模块2025和事务控制(transaction control,TC)模块2026。仍然以第一DDR为DDR4,且第二DDR为DDR5为例,详细说明DB202的具体结构和功能。
其中,时延调整模块2021与读缓冲寄存器2022、写缓冲寄存器2023以及事务控制模块2026连接,命令解码器2024与寄存器控制字模块2025以及事务控制模块2026连接,寄存器控制字模块2025与事务控制模块2026连接,上述连接关系具体可以如图3所示。
时延调整模块2021上设置了第三组数据引脚和第四组数据引脚,第三组数据引脚和第四组数据引脚可以均为双向数据控制引脚,可以记第三组数据引脚为MDQS,记第四组数据引脚为MDQ。其中,第三组MDQS用于传输所述读缓冲寄存器2022的多路输入数据, 图3示出的例子中,第三组数据引脚分为MDQS_A和MDQS_B两部分,MDQS_A和MDQS_B每部分均分为两路,第四组数据引脚分为MDQ_A和MDQ_B。
其中,所述第三组数据引脚用于输入来自所述DDR4侧的多路第一片选信息(图3中共4路),所述第四组数据引脚用于输入来自所述DDR4侧的多路数据(图3中共4路),所述事务控制模块2026用于输入来自所述RCD201的待执行命令,以及输出时延控制信息和所述待执行命令和第二片选信息,所述待执行命令为DDR4命令或可编程命令。
一种可能的实现方式中,事务控制模块2026输入来自所述RCD201的待执行命令的方式具体可以为,命令解码器2024与MCU2013连接,由MCU2013输出命令标识信息,由命令解码器2024对命令标识信息解析,获得待执行命令,并由命令解码器2024输出待执行命令至事务控制模块2026。事务控制模块2026输出时延控制信息的方式具体可以为,RCW模块2025与命令解码器2024连接,命令解码器2024将待执行命令至RCW模块2025,RCW模块2025根据待执行命令生成时延控制信息,并将时延控制信息输出至事务控制模块2026,再由事务控制模块2026输出时延控制信息。其中,RCW模块2025可以根据不同的命令类型,预先设置相应命令的时延参数,当RCW模块2025获得具体的待执行命令后,便可以根据相应命令的时延参数,生成具体的时延控制信息。
在所述时延调整模块2021中,所述时延调整模块2021用于输入所述时延控制信息,将所述多路第一片选信息(图3中共4路)的时延调整为一致,且将所述多路数据的时延(图3中共4路)调整为一致,还用于输入所述待执行命令并扩展为多路待执行命令(图3中共2路),并将所述多路待执行命令的时延调整为一致,以及输入所述第二片选信息并扩展为多路第二片选信息(图3中共2路),并将所述多路第二片选信息的时延调整为一致。基于时延调整模块2021,可以使得DDR4的时延能够适应DDR5主板,保证了DDR4用于DDR5主板的运行。
图3示出的例子中,所述时延调整模块2021包括多个第一缓冲寄存器20211和多个第二缓冲寄存器20212;
其中,所述多个第一缓冲寄存器20211与所述读缓冲寄存器2022连接,任一第一缓冲寄存器20211用于输入来自所述事务控制模块2026的所述时延控制信息、来自所述DDR4侧的一路第一片选信息及一路数据,以及输出调整时延后的一路数据,通过给每一路数据配置第一缓冲寄存器,调整任一路数据的时延,保障任一路数据的正常运行。
所述多个第二缓冲寄存器20212与所述写缓冲寄存器2023连接,任一第二缓冲寄存器20212用于输入来自所述事务控制模块2026的所述时延控制信息、一路第二片选信息及一路待执行命令,以及输出调整时延后的待执行命令。通过给每一路待执行命令配置第二缓冲寄存器,调整任一路待执行命令的时延,保障任一路待执行命令的正常运行。
需要说明的是,图3示出的架构仅为DB202的一种示例,该架构可以根据具体情形灵活增删各部件,以及设置各部件之间的连接关系。举例来说,命令解码器2024也可以不与RCW模块2025连接,RCW模块2025可以直接与MUX2013连接,由MUX2013输出DDR4命令或可编程命令至RCW模块2025;也可以不设置命令解码器2024,由MUX2013输出DDR4命令或可编程命令至事务控制模块2026,这些例子都可以根据实际需要设置,在此不再赘述。
基于图1~图3内存系统的描述,如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种内存系统可实现的一种数据传输方法,图4示出的方法可以用于图1~图3所描述的内存系统。仍然以 第一DDR为DDR4,且第二DDR为DDR5为例,详细说明图4示出的数据传输方法。
步骤401:RCD201获取来自CPU侧的第二DDR(DDR5)命令。
步骤402:RCD201将来自CPU侧的DDR5命令转换为DDR4的待执行命令。
其中,待执行命令可以为DDR4命令和可编程命令。
步骤403:RCD201将待执行命令输出至DDR4或者DB202。
步骤404:DDR4执行待执行命令。
DDR4执行待执行命令后会可能会返回相应的数据,如执行读取命令之后。
步骤405:DDR4返回多路第一片选信息和多路数据至DB202。
步骤406:DB202将多路第一片选信息的时延调整一致,且将多路数据的时延调整一致。
步骤407:DB202将调整时延后的多路第一片选信息以及调整时延后的多路数据输出至CPU插槽30。
显然,图4示出的流程也仅是一种可能的流程,一些步骤可以为可选的步骤,如步骤405~步骤407为可选的步骤,当待执行命令为写入命令时,步骤404执行后可以结束流程。
