Streaming access memory device, system and method

A system, comprising:

• a random access memory organized into individually addressable words;
• and
• streaming access control circuitry coupled to word lines of the random access memory, wherein the streaming access control circuitry, in operation, responds to a request to streamingly access a plurality of individually addressable words of a determined region of the random access memory by generating control signals to drive the word lines to access the plurality of individually addressable words of the determined region, wherein the request indicates an offset associated with the determined region and a pattern associated with the streaming access.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by streaming access control circuitry of a random access memory, a streaming access request to access a plurality of individually addressable words of a determined region of the random access memory, the request indicating an offset associated with the determined region and a pattern associated with the streaming access;
• and
• responding, by the streaming access control circuitry, to the request by generating control signals to drive word lines of the random access memory to access the plurality of individually addressable words of the determined region.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having contents which configure a streaming access controller of a random access memory to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a streaming access request to access a plurality of individually addressable words of a determined region of the random access memory, the request indicating an offset associated with the determined region and a pattern associated with the streaming access;
• and
• responding to the request by generating control signals to drive word lines of the random access memory to access the plurality of individually addressable words of the determined region.
