Abstract
A method includes performing a first memory operation having a first type on a location of a memory component. The method further includes, responsive to receiving an access request to perform a second memory operation having a second type on the location, preventing, subsequent to completion of the first memory operation, the second memory operation from being performed for a period of time corresponding to a particular time interval associated with the first type and a second type.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- performing a first memory operation having a first type on a location of a memory component;
- and
- responsive to receiving an access request to perform a second memory operation having a second type on the location, preventing, subsequent to completion of the first memory operation, the second memory operation from being performed for a period of time corresponding to a particular time interval associated with the first type and a second type.
A system, comprising:
- a memory component;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory component, to cause the memory component to:
- perform a first memory operation having a first type on a location of the memory component;
- and
- in response to receipt of an access request to perform a second memory operation having a second type:
- determine one of a plurality of time intervals associated with the first type and the second type and to be used for the second memory operation;
- and
- prevent, subsequent to completion of the first memory operation, the second memory operation from being performed for a period of time corresponding to the determined one of the plurality of time intervals.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- perform a first memory operation having a first type on a location of a memory component;
- receive an access request to perform a second memory operation having a second type on the location of the memory component;
- in response to a second memory operation having a second type:
- determine one of a plurality of time intervals associated with the first type and the second type;
- and
- allow the second memory operation to be performed on the location in response to a period of time corresponding to the determined one of the plurality of time intervals having expired subsequent to completion of the first memory operation;
- and
- in response to the second memory operation having the first type, allow the second memory operation to be performed independently of respective periods of time corresponding to the plurality of time intervals.
