ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for directly executing code in block-based memory, which resides in communication with a processor and a controller. Utilizing the controller, a request is received from the processor for a subset of a block of data in the block-based memory, and at least a portion of the block is retrieved from the block-based memory. After the retrieval, at least a portion of the block is stored in a cache. The subset of the block is then transmitted to the processor, utilizing the controller. To this end, code in the block-based memory is directly executed.
