 | |
| The OpenPOWER Memory Bus (OPMB) Specification defines the OpenPOWER Memory Bus Architecture.
 | |
| The architecture and specification are used to develop Memory Function Units (MFU) and
 | |
| to integration of those MFUs into the OpenPOWER system structure.
 | |
| An MFU is a logic block developed by a member of the OpenPOWER eco-system to attach special purpose memory technology and
 | |
| function processing for data stored in the memory technology.
 | |
| An example of MFU might be a database function accelerator which attaches dense flash memory technology.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This figure illustrates the concept.
