A read method executed by a computing system includes a processor, at least one nonvolatile memory, and at least one cache memory performing a cache function of the at least one nonvolatile memory. The method includes receiving a read request regarding a critical word from the processor. A determination is made whether a cache miss is generated, through a tag determination operation corresponding to the read request. Page data corresponding to the read request is received from the at least one nonvolatile memory in a wraparound scheme when a result of the tag determination operation indicates that the cache miss is generated. The critical word is output to the processor when the critical word of the page data is received.

An arithmetic processing device which connects to a main memory, the arithmetic processor includes a cache memory which stores data, an arithmetic unit which performs an arithmetic operation for data stored in the cache memory, a first control device which controls the cache memory and outputs a first request which reads the data stored in the main memory, and a second control device which is connected to the main memory and transmits a plurality of second requests which are divided the first request output from the first control device, receives data corresponding to the plurality of second requests which is transmitted from the main memory and sends each of the data to the first control device.

An apparatus includes a central processing unit (CPU) core and a cache subsystem coupled to the CPU core. The cache subsystem includes a memory configured to store a line of data and an error correcting code (ECC) syndrome associated with the line of data, where the ECC syndrome is calculated based on the line of data and the ECC syndrome is a first type ECC. The cache subsystem also includes a controller configured to, in response to a request from a master configured to implement a second type ECC, the request being directed to the line of data, transform the first type ECC syndrome for the line of data to a second type ECC syndrome send a response to the master. The response includes the line of data and the second type ECC syndrome associated with the line of data.

A memory device includes a data register operatively coupled to the memory array, a cache operatively coupled to the data register, and an input/output interface operatively coupled to the cache. A controller executes a continuous page read operation to sequentially load pages to the data register and move the pages to the cache, in response to a page read command, executes the cache read operation in response to a cache read command to move data from the cache to the input/output interface, and to stall moving of the data from the cache until a next cache read command, and terminates the continuous page read operation in response to a terminate command.

A memory system having an interconnect configured to receive commands from a system to read data from and/or write data to a memory device. The memory system also has a bridge configured to receive the commands from the interconnect, to manage ECC data and to perform address translation between system addresses and physical memory device addresses by calculating a first ECC memory address for a first ECC data block that is after and adjacent to a first data block having a first data address, calculating a second ECC memory address that is after and adjacent to the first ECC block, and calculating a second data address that is after and adjacent to the second ECC block. The bridge may also check and calculate ECC data for a complete burst of data, and/or cache ECC data for a complete burst of data that includes read and/or write data.

A memory access technology applied to a computer system includes a first-level memory, a second-level memory, and a memory controller. The first-level memory is configured to cache data in the second-level memory. A plurality of access requests for accessing different memory blocks has a mapping relationship with a first cache line in the first-level memory, and the memory controller compares tags of the plurality of access requests with a tag of the first cache line in a centralized manner to determine whether the plurality of access requests hit the first-level memory.
