Consider the following interleaved memory designs for a main memory system with 16 memory modules. Each module is assumed to have a capacity of 1 M Byte. The machine is byteaddressable. Design 16 ways interleaving with one memory bank.
To design a 16-way interleaved memory system with one memory bank, use 4 interleaving bits (2^4 = 16) in the memory address. Each of the 16 memory modules has a 1 M Byte capacity. The address bits 0-3 select on e of the 16 modules, while bits 4-31 address data within the chosen module. This setup ensures even distribution of data across modules, minimizing access contention. A complete 32-bit address is used for data access, allowing efficient access to memory.
