Abstract
Systems and methods for clearing bank descriptors for reuse by gate banks without requiring a system reboot are described. In some embodiments, information regarding a bank descriptor of a memory system may be obtained. From the information, a determination may be made as to whether the bank descriptor describes a common bank. When the bank descriptor describes a common bank, the bank descriptor can be updated to no longer describe the common bank.
