  • Publication number: 20240161830
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to organizing data to correspond to a matrix at a memory device are described. Data can be organized by circuitry coupled to an array of memory cells prior to the processing resources executing instructions on the data. The organization of data may thus occur on a memory device, rather than at an external processor. A controller coupled to the array of memory cells may direct the circuitry to organize the data in a matrix configuration to prepare the data for processing by the processing resources. The circuitry may be or include a column decode circuitry that organizes the data based on a command from the host associated with the processing resource. For example, data read in a prefetch operation may be selected to correspond to rows or columns of a matrix configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240143196
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to mitigating unauthorized memory access are described. Mitigating unauthorized memory access can include verifying whether an access command is authorized to access a protected region of a memory array. The authorization can be verified utilizing a key and a memory address corresponding to the access command. If an access command is authorized to access a protected region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command can be activated. If an access command is not authorized to access the protected region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command may not be activated.

  • Patent number: 11954499
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operational code storage for an on-die microprocessor are described. A microprocessor may be formed on-die with a memory array. Operating code for the microprocessor may be stored in the memory array, possibly along with other data (e.g., tracking or statistical data) used or generated by the on-die microprocessor. A wear leveling algorithm may result in some number of rows within the memory array not being used to store user data at any given time, and these rows may be used to store the operating code and possibly other data for the on-die microprocessor. The on-die microprocessor may boot and run based on the operating code stored in memory array.

  • Publication number: 20240103929
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods related to memory pooling between selected memory resources are described. A system using a memory pool formed as such may enable performance of functions, including automated functions critical for prevention of damage to a product, personnel safety, and/or reliable operation, based on increased access to data that may improve performance of a mission profile. For instance, one apparatus described herein includes a memory resource, a processing resource coupled to the memory resource, and a transceiver resource coupled to the processing resource. The memory resource, the processing resource, and the transceiver resource are configured to enable formation of a memory pool between the memory resource and another memory resource at another apparatus responsive to a request to access the other memory resource transmitted from the processing resource via the transceiver.

  • Publication number: 20240036875
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for organizing bits in a memory device are described. In a number of embodiments, an apparatus can include an array of memory cells, a data interface, a multiplexer coupled between the array of memory cells and the data interface, and a controller coupled to the array of memory cells, the controller configured to cause the apparatus to latch bits associated with a row of memory cells in the array in a number of sense amplifiers in a prefetch operation and send the bits from the sense amplifiers, through a multiplexer, to a data interface, which may include or be referred to as DQs. The bits may be sent to the DQs in a particular order that may correspond to a particular matrix configuration and may thus facilitate or reduce the complexity of arithmetic operations performed on the data.
