MICRO-THREADED MEMORY

摘要

A micro-threaded memory device. A plurality of storage banks are provided, each including a plurality of rows of storage cells and having an access restriction in that at least a minimum access time interval must transpire between successive accesses to a given row of the storage cells. The memory device receives a row activation request for a first row in a first one of the storage banks and a first column access request for a first column within the first row and receives, between the row activities and the first column access request, a second column access request for a second column within another one of the storage banks. The first and second column access requests are directed to different ones of the storage banks and are transmitted in a manner separated by a time period less than the first minimum time interval.
