Abstract: An apparatus such as a system-on-a-chip includes memory that is distributed through one or more functional hardware circuits. Each functional hardware circuit includes memory, and each functional hardware circuit can be configured to have its memory used either by the respective functional hardware circuit or by the apparatus' master device (e.g., main processor). For those functional hardware circuits that are not needed for a given application, their memories can be repurposed for use by the master device. Related methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus such as a system-on-a-chip includes memory that is distributed through multiple functional hardware circuits. Each functional hardware circuit includes memory, and each functional hardware circuit can be configured to have its memory used either by the respective functional hardware circuit or by the apparatus' master device (e.g., main processor). For those functional hardware circuits that are not needed for a given application, their memories can be repurposed for use by the master device. Related methods are also disclosed.
