Technologies for adding computational ability to memory devices without changing media layers

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a memory that includes a memory media connected to a media access circuitry through a set of communication paths usable to enable communication between the memory media and multiple different types of media access circuitries, a compute request to perform a function on data in the memory media;
• determining, in response to receiving the compute request and by the memory, whether the media access circuitry connected to the memory media is capable of performing the function on the data in the memory media;
• and
• performing, in response to a determination that the media access circuitry connected to the memory media is capable of performing the function, the function on the data in the memory media.

A process for manufacture of a memory, the process comprising:

• obtaining a memory media capable of communicating with multiple different types of media access circuitries through a set of communication paths at predefined locations;
• obtaining a media access circuitry capable of communicating with the memory media through the communication paths at the predefined locations;
• and
• connecting the obtained memory media to the obtained media access circuitry to enable communication through the communication paths at the predefined locations.
