SHARING ACCESS TO A MEMORY AMONG CLIENTS

摘要

In a memory device having a set of memory banks to store content data, at least two requests to perform respective memory operations in a first memory bank in the set of memory banks are received during a single clock cycle. It is determined that one or more of the at least two requests is blocked from accessing the first memory bank. In response to determining that the one or more of the at least two requests is blocked: redundancy data associated with the first memory bank and different from content data stored in the first memory bank is accessed, and, without accessing the first memory bank, at least a portion of the content data stored in the first memory bank is reconstructed based on the redundancy data associated with the first memory bank. A first requested memory operation is perfomied using the content data stored in the first memory bank, and a second requested memory operation is performed using content data reconstructed 1 ) without accessing the first memory bank and ii) based on the redundancy data associated with the first memory bank.
