1. A memory device comprising:
- one or more registers to store one or more predefined access profiles associated with the memory device, the one or more predefined access profiles used to determine how access to the memory device is configured for at least one usage; and
a controller configured to;
receive at least one first command to activate at least one of the one or more predefined access profiles; and
receive at least one second command to designate the at least one of the one or more predefined access profiles such that at least a portion of the memory device is configured according to the at least one of the one or more predefined access profiles for the at least one usage.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices for configuring access to a memory device are disclosed. The configuration of the memory device may be carried out by creating a plurality of access profiles that are adapted to optimize access to the memory device in accordance with a type of access. For example, when an application with specific memory access needs is initiated, the memory access profile that is designed for that particular access need may be utilized to configure access to the memory device. The configuration may apply to a portion of the memory device, a partition of the memory device, a single access location on the memory device, or any combination thereof.
