Memory devices might include an input/output (I/O) node, a termination device, an array of memory cells in communication with the I/O node through the termination device, and control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is configured to compare an address received by the memory device to a plurality of instances of address information stored in the memory device. Each instance of address information of the plurality of instances of address information might correspond to a respective termination value stored in the memory device. In response to the memory device receiving an address matching an instance of address information stored in the memory device, the control circuitry might further be configured to activate the termination device using the respective termination value corresponding to the instance of address information matching the received address.

A storage system with a controller having a persistent memory interface to local memory is provided. The persistent memory can be used to store a logical-to-physical address table. A logical-to-physical address table manager, local to the controller or remote in a secondary controller, can be used to access the logical-to-physical address table. The manager can be configured to improve bandwidth and performance in the storage system.

A method and a system for providing a distributed data architecture are provided. The method includes: defining a scope of a business problem space; identifying solution domains that relate to the defined scope; defining a bounded context that relates to a domain-specific solution for each of the identified solution domains; defining boundaries between the bounded contexts; and using the bounded contexts to define domain models, key entities, relationships, aggregates, applications, application programming interfaces, and events.

Memories that are configurable to operate in either a banked mode or a bit-separated mode. The memories include a plurality of memory banks; multiplexing circuitry; input circuitry; and output circuitry. The input circuitry inputs at least a portion of a memory address and configuration information to the multiplexing circuitry. The multiplexing circuitry generates read data by combining a selected subset of data corresponding to the address from each of the plurality of memory banks, the subset selected based on the configuration information, if the configuration information indicates a bit-separated mode. The multiplexing circuitry generates the read data by combining data corresponding to the address from one of the memory banks, the one of the memory banks selected based on the configuration information, if the configuration information indicates a banked mode. The output circuitry outputs the generated read data from the memory.

An example apparatus for a local area network. The apparatus includes, at one of a plurality of logic nodes, a plurality of ports and a plurality of shared registers. The plurality of shared registers have a port address table to provide configurable port-address assignments that identify respective ones of the plurality of ports. The apparatus further includes a management interface controller that communicates with the plurality of ports and accesses at least one register via a selected one of the ports, and in response configures or manages the port-address assignments within the port address table.

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a device. The device includes a decoder, a generation circuit, a register, and a modifier. The decoder analyzes a command of a received packet. The generation circuit generates a unique device number in accordance with information in the packet. The register holds the generated unique device number. The modifier updates and outputs the packet. When a packet issued by a host is a command packet, among broadcast packets which return to the host through one or more devices, for determining the unique device number, the command packet includes parameters of an initial value and final value of device number.

A memory subsystem enables per device addressability (PDA) to target configuration commands to one of multiple memory devices that share a select line or buffer devices that share an enable line. The system includes a host and multiple memory devices that can be coupled over a command bus and a data bus. The devices include a configuration or mode register to store a value to indicate whether PDA enumeration is enabled. When enabled, the host can provide an enumeration identifier (ID) command via the command bus with a signal via the data bus to assign an enumeration ID. After assignment of the enumeration ID, the host can send PDA commands via the command bus with the enumeration ID, without a signal on the data bus. Devices only process PDA commands that match their assigned enumeration ID, enabling the setting of device-specific configuration settings without needing to use the data bus on every PDA command.
