According to one general aspect, a method may include, in one embodiment, grouping a plurality of at least single-ported memory banks together to substantially act as a single at least dual-ported aggregated memory element. In various embodiments, the method may also include controlling read access to the memory banks such that a read operation may occur from any memory bank in which data is stored. In some embodiments, the method may include controlling write access to the memory banks such that a write operation may occur to any memory bank which is not being accessed by a read operation.
