Abstract
A memory structure including three-dimensional NOR memory strings and method of fabrication is disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory system includes a set of memory modules, each memory module including one or more quasi-volatile memory circuits interconnected to at least one memory controller where each memory module includes a set of memory ports; a DIMM controller and processor in communication with each of the memory modules; and multiple processor ports to be coupled to respective processing units external to the memory system. The memory ports of each memory module are coupled to the processor ports and to the DIMM controller and processor so that each memory module is accessible by respective processing units that are coupled to the processor ports and by the DIMM controller and process.
