Abstract

One or more memory systems, architectural structures, and/or methods of storing information in memory devices is disclosed to improve the data bandwidth and or to reduce the load on the communication links. The system may include one or more memory devices, one or more memory control circuits and one or more data buffer circuits. In one aspect, the data buffer circuit receives a next to be used store data tag from a Host wherein the store data tag specifies the data buffer location in the data buffer circuit to store data, and in response to receiving store data from the Host, moves the data received at the data buffer circuit into the data buffer pointed to by the previously received store data tag.
