Multiple class memory systems
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a physical memory sub-system including;
a first memory of a first memory class; and
a second memory of a second memory class, the second memory communicatively coupled to the first memory;
wherein the apparatus is configured such that the first memory and the second memory are capable of being used for a random access data read from the first memory via the second memory as a result of the physical memory sub-system receiving multiple instructions via a single memory bus, by;
receiving an instruction via the single memory bus for operating on data, that results in;
a first operation on at least a portion of the data in connection with the first memory,a second operation in connection with the second memory, that results in storage of the at least portion of the data in the second memory, anda status being provided; and
after the status being provided, receiving another instruction via the single memory bus for operating on the at least portion of the data, that results in the at least portion of the data being read from the second memory;
wherein the apparatus is configured such that the physical memory sub-system requires receipt of the multiple instructions via the single memory bus for the random access data read from the first memory via the second memory.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided comprising a physical memory sub-system including a first memory of a first memory class and a second memory of a second memory class, the second memory being communicatively coupled to the first memory. The apparatus is configured such that the first memory and the second memory are capable of receiving instructions via the memory bus. A system and method are also provided for circuit cooperation. The system includes a first semiconductor platform including at least one first circuit, and at least one additional semiconductor platform stacked with the first semiconductor platform and including at least one additional circuit. Furthermore, the system is operable such that the at least one first circuit and the at least one additional circuit cooperate to carry out at least one task.
