Dynamically determining memory access burst length

A method, comprising:

• receiving from one or more computing resources, memory access requests for data stored in a memory device;
• storing, by a memory controller, the memory access requests in one or more queues;
• in response to determining an end of a read mode during which read requests are sent to the memory device:
• terminating, by the memory controller, the read mode and beginning a write mode during which write requests are sent to the memory device;
• dynamically determining, by the memory controller, a number of write requests to send as part of a write burst, wherein dynamically determining said number comprises determining how many write requests are currently pending;
• sending, by the memory controller, said number of write requests to the memory device;
• and
• terminating, by the memory controller, the write mode and begin the read mode, in response to determining said number of write requests have been sent.

A computing system comprising:

• a memory device configured to store data;
• one or more computing resources, each configured to generate memory access requests for the data;
• and
• a memory controller coupled to the memory device, wherein the memory controller is configured to:
• store the memory access requests in one or more queues;
• in response to determining an end of a read mode during which read requests are sent to the memory device, the memory controller is configured to:
• terminate the read mode and begin a write mode during which write requests are sent via the second interface;
• dynamically determine a number of write requests to send as part of a write burst, wherein dynamically determining said number comprises determining how many write requests are currently pending;
• send said number of write requests to the memory device;
• and
• terminate the write mode and begin the read mode, in response to determining said number of write requests have been sent.
