Memory interleaving population rules
•
NPS4: Two channel interleaving
○
This interleaves channel [A and B], [C and D], etc.
○
Each channel within the pair requires at least one equal memory modules populated.
○
Works with three memory modules per channel pair, non-symmetrical module is stacked on top (odd configurations).
○
Any memory channel where one of the two channels is not populated is not interleaved.
○
There is no alternate, as all configurations can be mapped into this mode.
•
NPS2: Four channel interleaving
○
This interleaves the four channels on the left or right half of a processor which are channels [A, B, C, D] and [E, F, G, H].
○
All four channels require equal memory modules populated.
○
Each half or interleave set may have different total memory capacity with respect to each other.
•
NPS1: Eight channel interleaving
○
This interleaves all channels in a processor [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H].
○
All channels in a processor require equal memory modules populated.
○
Single processor system creates a single NUMA node for the system.
NOTE:
An exception is allowed when system has 4-channels populated [C, D, G, H] with equal memory allowing
the system to enter NPS1 mode even though all the 8 channels are not populated.
•
NPS0: Sixteen channel interleaving (dual processor)
○
This interleaves all 16 channels in a dual processor system.
○
All channels in a system require equal memory modules populated.
○
Dual processor systems create a single NUMA node for the system.
