摘要
A computer system includes at least one processor, multiple memory modules embodying a main memory, a communications medium for communicating data between the at least one processor and main memory, and memory access control logic which controls the routing of data and access to memory. The communications medium and memory access control logic are designed to accommodate a heterogenous collection of main memory configurations, in which at least one physical parameter is variable for different configurations. The bits of the memory address are mapped to actual memory locations by assigning fixed bit positions to the most critical physical parameters across multiple different module types, and assigning remaining non-contiguous bit positions to less critical physical parameters. In the preferred embodiment, the computer system employs a distributed memory architecture.
