Abstract
A non-volatile memory may operate, not in a master/slave arrangement, but in a peer-to-peer arrangement. In some embodiments, the memory may initiate a transaction with a device outside the memory. Thus, the memory may proactively perform tasks conventionally performed by memory controllers and other external devices.
