A memory system may improve the endurance and performance of a plurality of memories included in the memory system mounted on a server system or a data processing system. For example, the memory system may throttle energy of a first memory using a second memory having a different characteristic from the first memory, control accesses to a memory region according to a refresh cycle, and control accesses to memories having different temperatures according to a priority of a request for each of the memories.

Memory system

A converged memory device includes: a first memory group having first characteristics; a second memory group having second characteristics that are different from the first characteristics; and a controller configured to migrate predetermined data of the second memory group into a cache region in the first memory group, wherein the controller is further configured to migrate data of the second memory group into the cache region by using the cache region as a buffer when an energy throttling operation is performed on the second memory group.

Converged memory device and operation method thereof

A convergence memory device includes a plurality of memories and a controller configured to control the plurality of memories. When an access request for accessing a storage region included in one or more of the memories is received, the controller determines whether the access request has been received a preset number of times or more within a refresh cycle. When the controller determines that the access request has been received the preset number of times or more, the controller postpones processing of the received access request.
