Abstract
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to a memory protocol. An example apparatus can execute a read command that includes a first chunk of data and a second chunk of data by assigning a first read identification (RID) number to the first chunk of data and a second RID number to the second chunk of data, sending the first chunk of data and the first RID number to a host, and sending the second chunk of data and the second RID number to the host. The apparatus can be a non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM) device.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-volatile memory device;
- and
- circuitry coupled to the non-volatile memory device configured to:
- receive a read command that includes an address bit that provides an indication of a register that stores a priority associated with the read command to determine an order in which to return chunks of data associated with the read command;
- and
- execute the read command by sending a read ready signal to indicate a portion of data indicated by the address bit of the read command is ready to send.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a read command at a non-volatile memory that includes an address bit that provides an indication of a register that stores a priority associated with the read command to determine an order in which to return chunks of data associated with the read command;
- and
- executing the read command by sending a read ready signal to indicate a portion of data indicated by the address bit of the read command is ready to send.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-volatile memory device;
- and
- circuitry coupled to the non-volatile memory device configured to:
- receive a read command wherein the read command is assigned a host read identification (RID) number and the read command includes an address bit that provides an indication of a register that stores a priority associated with the read command to determine an order in which to return a number of chunks of data associated with the read command;
- assign memory device read identification (RID) numbers to each of the number of chunks of data;
- and
- execute the read command by sending a read ready signal to indicate a portion of data indicated by the address bit of the read command is ready to send.
