This is a basic question, but I'm not clear, appreciate the answer to this question from TI expert in advance.
one 64 bit CPU connect to DDR, I see there are various combination. the CPU can connect to 4 pcs 16bit DDR, the CPU also can connect to 2 pcs 16 bit DDR.
my question is how to evaluate the performance when the CPU connect to 4 pcs 16bit DDR and 2 pcs 16bit DDR. or even 1 pcs 16 bit DDR.
currently, a previous design is one 64 bit CPU connected 4 pcs 16 bit DDR3. but the boss want to cost down, so he want to see if 2 pcs 16 bit DDR can also support current OS. the intuitive impression is the performance of the Produce should not be impacted when reduce the amount of the DDR3.
For a new project , what's the factor I should to take into consideration to evaluate this issue. how many DDR is enough for my new project.
