Abstract

A method is described for managing the issuance and fulfillment of memory commands. The method includes receiving, by a cache controller of a memory subsystem, a first memory command corresponding to a set of memory devices. In response, the cache controller adds the first memory command to a cache controller command queue such that the cache controller command queue stores a first set of memory commands and sets a priority of the first memory command to either a high or low priority based on (1) whether the first memory command is of a first or second type and (2) an origin of the first memory command.
