A first memory controller receives an access command from a second memory controller, where the access command is timing non-deterministic with respect to a timing specification of a memory. The first memory controller sends at least one access command signal corresponding to the access command to the memory, wherein the at least one access command signal complies with the timing specification. The first memory controller determines a latency of access of the memory. The first memory controller sends feedback information relating to the latency to the second memory controller.

Separate memory controllers to access data in memory

A memory system includes a plurality of memory nodes provided at different hierarchical levels of the memory system, each of the memory nodes including a corresponding memory storage and a cache. A memory node at a first of the different hierarchical levels is coupled to a processor with lower communication latency than a memory node at a second of the different hierarchical levels. The memory nodes are to cooperate to decide which of the memory nodes is to cache data of a given one of the memory nodes.
