Managing package switching based on switching parameters

A method comprising:

• receiving a first command directed to a first package of a plurality of memory packages, wherein the first command is issued to a command processor to be applied to the first package;
• determining whether a total number of pending commands directed to the first package satisfies a first threshold criterion;
• responsive to determining that the total number of pending commands directed to the first package satisfies the first threshold criterion, determining whether a second command directed to a second package is requesting transmission;
• responsive to the second command directed to the second package requesting transmission, determining whether the first command comprises a write command;
• and
• responsive to determining that the first command comprises a write command, switching to execute a command directed to the second package.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instruction that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a command directed to a current package;
• determining whether a total number of pending commands directed to the current package satisfies a package switch threshold criterion;
• responsive to determining that the package switch threshold criterion is satisfied, determining whether a command directed to a next package is requesting transmission;
• responsive to the command directed to the next package requesting transmission, determining whether a previous command directed to the current package comprises a write command;
• and
• responsive to determining that the previous command directed to the current package comprises a write command, performing a package switch from the current package to the next package to execute the commands remaining directed to the next package.
