Abstract

According to one embodiment, a memory apparatus includes a memory device and a controller. The memory device includes a plurality of memory chips. The controller includes a plurality of memories. The controller determines whether or not the memory chip is allocated to any one memory when receiving an access request related to the memory chip from a host apparatus. The controller newly allocates the memory chip to the memory to which none of the memory chips is allocated when it is determined that the memory chips is not allocated, and enqueues a command corresponding to the access request received from the host apparatus to the memory to which the memory chip is newly allocated.
