Configurable data placement with variable plane programming

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• determining an amount of outstanding data of a data stream is not sufficient to occupy a set of pages of a wordline of a memory device, said set of pages spanning a set of planes of the memory device;
• storing a first portion of the outstanding data in a first minimum write cache control buffer (mWCCB);
• releasing the first portion of the outstanding data from the first mWCCB to the memory device;
• in coordination with the release of the first portion of the outstanding data, store a second portion of the outstanding data in a second mWCCB;
• releasing the second portion of the outstanding data from the second mWCCB to the memory device;
• and
• based on the determination that the amount of outstanding data is not sufficient to occupy the set of planes, writing the first and second portions of the outstanding data to a first subset of the set of pages,
• said set of planes including a first plane and a second plane,
• wherein writing the first and second portions of the outstanding data to the first subset includes issuing a dual plane program command to write the first portion of the outstanding data to the pages of the first pair of planes and issuing a random data input program command to write the second portion of the outstanding data to the pages of the second pair of planes,
• wherein the first and second portions of the outstanding data include an entirety of the amount of outstanding data.

Non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon, that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• determine an amount of outstanding data of a data stream is not sufficient to occupy a set of pages of a wordline of a memory device, said set of pages spanning a set of planes of the memory device;
• store a first portion of the outstanding data in a first minimum write cache control buffer (mWCCB);
• release the first portion of the outstanding data from the first mWCCB to the memory device;
• in coordination with the release of the first portion of the outstanding data, storing a second portion of the outstanding data in a second mWCCB;
• release the second portion of the outstanding data from the second mWCCB to the memory device;
• and
• based on the determination that the amount of outstanding data is not sufficient to occupy the set of planes, write the first and second portions of the outstanding data to a first subset of the set of pages,
• said set of planes including a first pair of planes and a second pair of planes,
• wherein writing the first and second portions of the outstanding data to the first subset includes issuing a dual plane program command to write the first portion of the outstanding data to the pages of the first pair of planes and a random data program command to write the second portion of the outstanding data to the pages of the second pair of planes,
• wherein the first and second portions of the outstanding data include an entirety of the amount of outstanding data.
