HOST-BASED AND CLIENT-BASED COMMAND SCHEDULING IN LARGE BANDWIDTH MEMORY SYSTEMS

摘要

A high-bandwidth memory (HBM) system includes an HBM device and a logic circuit. The logic circuit receives a first command from the host device and converts the received first command to a processing-in-memory (PIM) command that is sent to the HBM device through the second interface. A time between when the first command is received from the host device and when the HBM system is ready to receive another command from the host device is deterministic. The logic circuit further receives a fourth command and a fifth command from the host device. The fifth command requests time-estimate information relating to a time between when the fifth command is received and when the HBM system is ready to receive another command from the host device. The time-estimate information includes a deterministic period of time and an estimated period of time for a non-deterministic period of time.
