Abstract
A method and a memory device are provided. A controller of the memory device retrieves a first command from a host memory. The controller stores a first identifier of the first command in a set-aside buffer of the memory device. The controller retrieves a second command from the host memory. The controller initiates processing of the first command and the second command based on a second identifier of the second command corresponding to the first identifier
Claims20
A method of a memory device, comprising:
- retrieving, by a controller of the memory device, a first command from a host memory;
- storing, by the controller, a first identifier of the first command in a set-aside buffer of the memory device;
- retrieving, by the controller, a second command from the host memory;
- and
- initiating, by the controller, processing of the first command and the second command based on a second identifier of the second command corresponding to the first identifier.
A memory device, comprising:
- a controller having at least an arbiter, a command fetcher connected to the arbiter, a set-aside buffer, a command parser, and a command processor,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- retrieve a first command from a host memory;
- store a first identifier of the first command in the set-aside buffer;
- retrieve a second command from the host memory;
- and
- initiate processing of the first command and the second command based on a second identifier of the second command corresponding to the first identifier.
A memory device, comprising:
- a controller having a set-aside buffer, wherein the controller is configured to:
- retrieve a first command from a host memory;
- store the first command on the set-aside buffer;
- retrieve a second command from the host memory;
- and
- atomically process the first command and the second command based on a first identifier of the first command corresponding to a second identifier of the second command.
