Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to memory subsystems implemented within, or connected to and accessed by, parallel, pipelined, integrated-circuit implementations of computational engines designed to solve complex computational problems. Additional embodiments of the present invention are directed to memory subsystems implemented within, or connected to and accessed by, a variety of different types of electronic devices. One embodiment of the present invention comprises a memory controller implemented in a first integrated circuit or other electronic system and one or more separate memory devices. Alternative embodiments of the present invention incorporate the memory controller within one or more memory devices that are connected to, and accessed by, an integrated-circuit-implemented computational engine or another electronic device. In alternative embodiments of the present invention, the memory controller and memory are together integrated within a computational engine or another electronic device. Alternative embodiments of the present invention include a multi-access memory that interfaces to a simpler memory controller for connection to, or integration within, a computational engine or other electronic device.
