A MULTI-CLIENT MULTI MEMORY CONTROLLER IN A HIGH SPEED DISTRIBUTED MEMORY SYSTEM

摘要

A multi-client multi memory controller (2) for providing memory operations to clients of a client group (CG) said multi-client multi memory controller (2) having access to a memory device array (MDA) represented by virtual memory units (VMUs) arranged in rows and columns, wherein the number of rows is equal to the number (n) of the clients of a client group (CG) and the number of columns is equal to the number (m) of clients of said client group (CG) adapted to write data to said memory device array (MDA), wherein said multi-client multi memory controller (2) is adapted to write in response to a client write request (WR) received from a first client (3-i) of said client group (CG) the updated information of said first client as replication data entries to all virtual memory units (VMUs) of the column associated to the first client, wherein said multi-client multi memory controller (2) is adapted to read in response to a client read request (RR) received from a second client(3-i) of said client group (CG) the stored replication data entries from all virtual memory units of the row associated to the second client and to provide the most recently updated replication data entry to the second client.
