Express programming using advanced cache register release in a memory sub-system

A method comprising:

• initiating a first express programming operation to program a set of memory cells of a memory array of a memory device to a target programming level of a set of programming levels;
• storing, in a cache register, a first set of data associated with the first express programming operation;
• at one or more checkpoints during execution of the first express programming operation, executing, by a processing device, a prediction operation to determine a prediction result corresponding to a programming status of the set of memory cells;
• comparing the prediction result to a threshold level to determine whether a condition is satisfied;
• causing a release of the first set of data associated with the first express programming operation from the cache register in response to the condition being satisfied;
• and
• loading, into the cache register, a second set of data associated with a second express programming operation to be applied to the memory array.

A memory device comprising:

• a memory array comprising a set of memory cells;
• and
• control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array, to perform operations comprising:
• initiating a first express programming operation to program the set of memory cells to a target programming level of a set of programming levels;
• storing, in a cache register, a first set of data associated with the first express programming operation;
• at one or more checkpoints during execution of the first express programming operation, executing a prediction operation to determine a prediction result corresponding to a programming status of the set of memory cells;
• comparing the prediction result to a threshold level to determine whether a condition is satisfied;
• causing a release of the first set of data associated with the first express programming operation from the cache register in response to the condition being satisfied;
• and
• loading, into the cache register, a second set of data associated with a second express programming operation to be applied to the memory array.
