DATA STORAGE SYSTEM HAVING MEMORY CONTROLLER WITH EMBEDDED CPU

摘要

A memory system includes a bank of memory, an interface to a packet switching network, and a memory controller. The memory system is adapted to receive by the interface a packet based command to access the bank of memory. The memory controller is adapted to execute initialization and configuration cycles for the bank of memory. An embedded central processing unit (CPU) is included in the memory controller and is adapted to execute computer executable instructions. The memory controller is adapted to process the packet based command.
