Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with selectively scheduling memory accesses in parallel are described. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a hardware controller, an access speed associated with a page request. The page request is a request to access a memory page in a memory device. The access speed is a number of clock cycles used to access the memory page addressed by the page request. The method also includes scheduling when the page request will be executed based, at least in part, on the access speed by assigning the page request to be executed in parallel with at least one other page request that is to access a different memory page in the memory device using a same number of clock cycles as the page request.
