various techniques are disclosed for providing data retrieved from a memory device and furnished to a memory bus in response to a read operation to a local bus interface . for instance , a set of conductive traces may be provided that forms a communication path between the memory bus and the local bus interface , such that the communication path formed by the conductive traces bypasses a memory bus interface coupled to the memory bus . in this manner , the data furnished to the memory bus may be communicated directly to the local bus without first being communicated to the memory bus interface .
