ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of memory requesters and a memory supercell. The memory supercell includes a plurality of memory banks each of which forms a respective range of separately addressable storage locations, wherein the memory supercell is organized into a plurality of bank groups. Each of the plurality of bank groups includes a subset of the plurality of memory banks and a corresponding dedicated access port. The integrated circuit further includes a switch coupled between the plurality of memory requesters and the memory supercell. The switch is configured, responsive to a memory request by a given one of the plurality of memory requesters, to connect a data path between the given memory requester and the dedicated access port of a particular one of the bank groups addressed by the memory request.
