Abstract: Methods of mapping memory regions to processes based on thermal data of memory regions are described. In some embodiments, a memory controller may receive a memory allocation request. The memory allocation request may include a logical memory address. The method may further include mapping the logical memory address to an address in a memory region of the memory system based on thermal data for memory regions of the memory system. Additional methods and systems are also described.

Abstract: Methods of accessing memory cells, methods of distributing memory requests, systems, and memory controllers are described. In one such method, where memory cells are divided into at least a first region of memory cells and a second region of memory cells, memory cells in the first region are accessed according to a first address definition and memory cells in the second region are accessed according to a second address definition that is different from the first address definition. Additional embodiments are described.

Abstract: The present techniques provide systems and methods of controlling access to more than one open page in a memory component, such as a memory bank. Several components may request access to the memory banks. A controller can receive the requests and open or close the pages in the memory bank in response to the requests. In some embodiments, the controller assigns priority to some components requesting access, and assigns a specific page in a memory bank to the priority component. Further, additional available pages in the same memory bank may also be opened by other priority components, or by components with lower priorities. The controller may conserve power, or may increase the efficiency of processing transactions between components and the memory bank by closing pages after time outs, after transactions are complete, or in response to a number of requests received by masters.

Abstract translation: 本技术提供了控制对存储器组件（诸如存储体）中的多个打开页面的访问的系统和方法。 几个组件可以请求访问存储体。 控制器可以接收请求，并根据请求打开或关闭存储体中的页面。 在一些实施例中，控制器分配一些请求访问的组件的优先级，并将存储体中的特定页面分配给优先级组件。 此外，同一内存库中的其他可用页面也可能被其他优先级组件或具有较低优先级的组件打开。 控制器可以节省功率，或者可以通过在超时之后，事务完成之后或响应于主机接收的多个请求来关闭页面，从而提高组件与存储体之间的处理交易的效率。
