Abstract
The presented systems enable efficient and effective network communications. The presented systems enable efficient and effective network communications. In one embodiment a memory device includes a memory module, including a plurality of memory chips configured to store information; and an inter-chip network (ICN)/shared smart memory extension (SMX) memory interface controller (ICN/SMX memory interface controller) configured to interface between the memory module and an inter-chip network (ICN), wherein the ICN is configured to communicatively couple the memory device to a parallel processing unit (PPU). In one exemplary implementation, the ICN/SMX memory controller includes a plurality of package buffers, an ICN physical layer interface, a PRC/MAC interface, and a switch. The memory device and be a memory card including memory module (e.g., DDR DIMM, etc.).
