Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods related to subarray addressing for electronic memory and/or storage are described. Concurrent access to different rows within different subarrays may be enabled via independent subarray addressing such that each of the subarrays may serve as a “virtual bank.” Accessing the different rows as such may provide improved throughput of data values accessed from the respective rows being sent to a destination location. For instance, one such apparatus includes a plurality of subarrays within a bank of a memory device. Circuitry within the bank is coupled to the plurality of subarrays. The circuitry may be configured to activate a row at a particular ordinal position in a first subarray during a time period and a row at a different ordinal position in a second subarray of the plurality of subarrays during the same time period.
