Abstract
In a memory device having a set of memory banks to store content data, at least two requests to perform respective memory operations in a first memory bank are received during a single clock cycle. One or more of the at least two requests is blocked from accessing the first memory bank, and in response: redundancy data associated with the first memory bank and different from content data stored therein is accessed, and, without accessing the first memory bank, at least a portion of the content data stored in the first memory bank is reconstructed based on the associated redundancy data. A first memory operation is performed using the content data stored in the first memory bank, and a second memory operation is performed using content data reconstructed i) without accessing the first memory bank and ii) based on the associated redundancy data.
