Abstract

Systems and methods for processing commands at a random access memory. A series of commands are received to read data from the random access memory or to write data to the random access memory. The random access memory can process commands at a first rate when the series of commands matches a pattern, and at a second, slower, rate when the series of commands does not match the pattern. A determination is made as to whether the series of commands matches the pattern based on at least a current command and a prior command in the series of commands. A ready signal is asserted when said determining determines that the series of commands matches the pattern, where the random access memory is configured to receive and process commands faster than the second rate when the pattern is matched and the ready signal is asserted over a period of multiple commands.
