Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for reading from and writing to storage using acknowledged phases of sets of data. In one implementation, a phase indication is maintained. A first value of the phase indication is associated with a first plurality of memory requests, and a second value of the phase indication is associated with a second plurality of memory requests. The first and second pluralities of memory requests are forwarded to a memory control component. A first acknowledgement that the first plurality of memory requests have been manipulated is received, which allows a next set of data to be sent using the acknowledged phase. In one implementation, the plurality of memory requests include a write request. In one implementation, the plurality of memory requests include a read request.
