ABSTRACT:
A memory module includes a memory hub coupled to several memory devices. The memory hub includes at least one performance counter that tracks one or more system metrics—for example, page hit rate, prefetch hits, and/or cache hit rate. The performance counter communicates with a memory sequencer that adjusts its operation based on the system metrics tracked by the performance counter.
