Abstract
In an embodiment, a computer system includes a memory system configured to couple to one or more memory devices and processor circuitry configured to issue read and write requests to the memory system. The memory system is configured to receive, during a write turn in which a plurality of write requests are processed, a read request and an indication of a criticality of the read request assigned by the processor circuitry. The memory system is further configured to, based on the indication identifying that the read request is a critical read request and a detection that a set of activation criteria is satisfied, transition, to process the critical read request, from the write turn to a read turn without completing the write turn. The memory system is configured to perform the read turn in which a plurality of read requests are processed including the critical read request.
