Abstract

Example embodiments relate to response control for memory modules that include or interface with non-compliant memory technologies. A memory module may include an interface to a memory bus that complies with a data transfer standard, wherein the memory bus communicates with a memory controller, and an interface to a non-compliant memory technology that does not comply with the data transfer standard. The memory module may include a command monitoring circuit to determine whether a command from the memory controller has been or will be completed by the non-compliant memory circuit within a defined amount of time within which a command should be completed according to the data transfer standard. The memory module may include an error causing circuit that signals to the memory controller or an operating system when the command has not or will not complete within the defined amount of time.
