Abstract
An elastic memory system that may include memory banks, clients that are configured to obtain access requests associated with input addresses; first address converters that are configured to convert the input addresses to intermediate addresses within a linear address space; address scramblers that are configured to convert the intermediate addresses to physical addresses while balancing a load between the memory banks; atomic operation units; an interconnect that is configured to receive modified access requests that are associated with the physical addresses, and send the modified access requests downstream, wherein atomic modified access requests are sent to the atomic operation units; wherein the atomic operations units are configured to execute the atomic modified access requests; wherein the memory banks are configured to respond to the atomic modified access requests and to non-atomic modified access requests.
