ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for providing distributed autonomous power management in a memory system. Embodiments include a memory system for storing and retrieving data for a processing system. The memory system includes a memory controller for receiving and responding to memory access requests, a memory bus in communication with the memory controller, a plurality of memory devices, and a control unit external to the memory controller. The memory devices are in communication with the memory controller via the memory bus, with one or more of the memory devices being associated with a group. The control unit autonomously manages power within and for the group of memory devices.
