Abstract: A memory controller includes: a first buffer configured to receive a memory request from a host and store therein the received memory request; a command generator configured to generate a first command corresponding to the memory request, and set a type of the first command indicating whether an address comprised in the memory request corresponds to a processing in memory (PIM) memory; a second buffer configured to store therein a plurality of commands comprising the first command; and a command scheduler configured to determine whether to change an order of the first command stored in the second buffer based on the type of the first command.

Abstract: A processing-in-memory includes: a memory; a register configured to store offset information; and an internal processor configured to: receive an instruction and a reference physical address of the memory from a memory controller, determine an offset physical address of the memory based on the offset information, determine a target physical address of the memory based on the reference physical address and the offset physical address, and perform the instruction by accessing the target physical address.

Abstract: A memory controller, a method of operating the memory controller, and an electronic device including the memory controller are disclosed. The method of operating a memory controller, comprising receiving, from a host core, a plurality of commands for a memory, identifying, from among the plurality of commands, processing in memory (PIM) commands to execute one or more operations in the memory, verifying ordering information from a data field in each of the PIM commands, and reordering the PIM commands based on the ordering information and transmitting the reordered PIM commands to the memory.
