Apparatus, System, and Method for Managing Commands of Solid-State Storage Using Bank Interleave

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first controller, one or more commands;
• separating, by the first controller, the one or more commands based on a command type of each command of the one or more commands;
• directing, by the first controller, the one or more commands to a queue of a set of a plurality of queues, each set of the plurality of queues comprising a queue corresponding to each command type and comprising a first queue configured to store management commands and a second queue configured to store other commands;
• receiving, by a second controller, the one or more-commands from the set of the plurality of queues;
• generating, by the second controller, subcommands based on the one or more commands;
• and
• directing, by the second controller, the subcommands to a bank of a plurality of banks of a solid state storage, each bank of the plurality of banks corresponding to a different set of the plurality of queues.

A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• receiving, by a first controller, one or more commands;
• separating, by the first controller, the one or more commands based on a command type of each command of the one or more commands;
• directing, by the first controller, the one or more commands to a queue of a set of a plurality of queues, each set of the plurality of queues comprising a queue corresponding to each command type and comprising a first queue configured to store management commands and a second queue configured to store other commands;
• receiving, by a second controller, the one or more-commands from the set of the plurality of queues;
• generating, by the second controller, subcommands based on the one or more commands;
• and
• directing, by the second controller, the subcommands to a bank of a plurality of banks of a solid state storage, each bank of the plurality of banks corresponding to a different set of the plurality of queues.
