Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure configure a media controller of a memory component to skip execution of a read-write cycle for specific data if the media controller has not observed at least one prior data modification request from a memory sub-system controller that causes modification of the specific data. For example, a media controller of a first memory component can be configured to include a data modification tracker to monitor a memory channel for data modification requests to a second memory component and to track data modification requests that have been observed by the media controller on the memory channel, where the memory channel may be one shared by the first and second memory components.
