A processing-in-memory (PIM) device schedules a refresh operation based on knowledge of an ongoing PIM operation. A memory controller of the PIM device initiates execution of a PIM operation on a first set of memory banks of the memory device. The memory controller selects a second set of memory banks different than the first set of memory banks to execute a refresh operation based on knowledge of the initiating the execution of the PIM operation on the first set of memory banks. The memory controller initiates execution of the refresh operation on the second set of memory banks. The memory controller switches, in response to completing execution of the PIM operation on the first set of memory banks, execution of the refresh operation to the first set of memory banks and execution of the PIM operation to the second set of memory banks.
