MEMORY DEVICE FOR PERFORMING IN-MEMORY PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17954532 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE FOR PERFORMING IN-MEMORY PROCESSING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a memory device that includes memory operation circuitries, memory banks, and command pads. The memory operation circuitries perform memory processing, while the memory banks are assigned to each memory operation circuitry. The command pads receive command signals from an external source.
- The memory device has memory operation circuitries that perform memory processing.
- Each memory operation circuitry is assigned a set of n memory banks.
- Command pads receive command signals from an external source.
- The memory operation circuitries access memory banks in a specific order based on their distances from the command pads.
- The memory banks perform access operations for data requested by the memory operation circuitries while memory processing is performed.
Potential Applications
- This memory device can be used in various electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles.
- It can improve the performance and efficiency of memory processing in these devices.
Problems Solved
- The memory device solves the problem of efficiently accessing memory banks while performing memory processing.
- It ensures that data requested by the memory operation circuitries is accessed in an optimal order based on their distances from the command pads.
Benefits
- Improved performance and efficiency of memory processing.
- Optimal access order for data retrieval from memory banks.
- Enhanced overall functionality and speed of electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory device includes: memory operation circuitries to perform memory processing; memory banks assigned to one of the memory operation circuitries such that a set of n memory banks is assigned to each of the memory operation circuitries; and command pads to receive a command signal from an external source, wherein, for each of the memory operation circuitries, a corresponding memory operation circuitry to access memory banks of a corresponding set of n memory banks that is assigned to the corresponding memory operation circuitry, in an order determined based on respective distances from each of the memory banks of the corresponding set of n memory banks to the command pads, and wherein, each of the memory banks of the corresponding set of n memory banks to perform an access operation of data requested by the corresponding memory operation circuitry while the memory processing is performed.
