An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory device comprising a plurality of banks of memory cells, wherein particular banks of memory cells among the plurality of banks includes a bank processor configured to control memory operations for the bank on which the bank processor is located;
- and
- a system processor resident on a bank of the memory device that does not include the bank processor, wherein the system processor is configured to control performance of memory operations for the memory device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system processor resident on a particular memory bank on a memory device, instructions to orchestrate tasks performed by bank processors resident on banks of the memory device that are devoid of the system processor;
- and
- executing, by the system processor, the instructions to orchestrate tasks performed by the bank processors.
