In a system in which individual memory banks may be under individual power control, a subsequent need for a memory bank that is currently in a low power state may be anticipated, so that the memory bank may be powered up in advance of when it is needed, to reduce or eliminate delays caused by waiting for the memory bank to power up and become operational. The anticipation may be based on accessing a predetermined location in another memory bank.
