Hi guys,
I'd like to know what's the advantages of dividing a memory into banks (left and right bank for example)
Thanks!

Got ur idea. Do you mean when dividing a memory into banks, if we want to access a byte, just need to enable a bank, doesn't need both for access full word?
 

The reason behind butterfly architecture for memory block is to provide symmetry , consider a wide cut memory instance and putting all the control logic (word line driver , clk ) at one end, the signal strength would be to low a the other end.
To counter with this memory structures are divided into two half ,placing the control logic in b/w.

hope i cleared ur doubt.
