Abstract

A memory controller, in one embodiment, includes a command translation data structure, a front end and a back end. The command translation data structure maps command operations to primitives, wherein the primitives are decomposed from command operations determined for one or more memory devices. The front end receives command operations from a processing unit and translates each command operation to a set of one or more corresponding primitives using the command translation data structure. The back end outputs the set of one or more corresponding primitives for each received command operation to a given memory device.
