    摘要: A diagnostic interface architecture for a memory device supports in one aspect one or more dynamically reconfigurable functional interconnects normally utilized in connection with reading data from the memory device and/or writing data to the memory device. The dynamically reconfigurable functional interconnects are capable of being configured to operate in either functional or diagnostic modes, whereby in the diagnostic mode, such interconnects may be used to communicate diagnostic information to support one or more diagnostic operations. The diagnostic interface architecture may also support multiple diagnostic interfaces in a given memory device, with at least one such diagnostic interface being capable of being selectively enabled in response to a failure in another diagnostic interface.

    摘要: Methods and systems for re-ordering commands to access memory are disclosed. Embodiments may receive a first command to access a memory bank of the memory and determine a penalty associated with the first command based upon a conflict with an access to the memory bank. The penalty, in many embodiments, may be calculated so the penalty expires when the memory bank and a data bus associated with the memory bank are available to process the first command. Then, the first command is queued and dispatched to an available sequencer after the penalty expires. After the first command is serviced, unexpired penalties of subsequent commands may be updated to reflect a conflict with the first command. Further embodiments select a command to dispatch from the commands with expired penalties, based upon priorities associated with the commands such as the order in which the commands were received and the command types.
