Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present invention facilitate efficient and effective increased memory cell density configuration. In one embodiment, a memory system comprises: an array of addressable memory cells, wherein the addressable memory cells of the array comprise magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cells and wherein further the array is organized into a plurality of banks; an engine configured to control access to the addressable memory cells organized into the plurality of banks; and a pipeline configured to perform access control and communication operations between the engine and the array of addressable memory cells. At least a portion of operations associated with accessing at least a portion of one of the plurality of memory banks via the pipeline are performed substantially concurrently or in parallel with at least a portion of operations associated with accessing at least another portion of one of the plurality of memory banks via the pipeline.
