Managed memory systems with multiple priority queues

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for managed memory systems with multiple priority queues are described. Memory access commands may be received from a host and stored in a command queue. First and second subsets of the commands, respectively associated with first and second priorities, may be determined. The first and second subsets may be routed from the command queue to first and second queues, respectively. The first and second subsets may be processed from the first and second queues to third and fourth queues, respectively, at a storage controller, according to first and second processes that may be run concurrently according to parameters for prioritization between the first and second priorities. Data associated with the commands may be received from the host, temporarily stored in a buffer, then moved to a storage memory (for write commands) or retrieved from the storage memory, temporarily stored in the buffer, then transmitted to the host (for read commands).
