Abstract

A storage module may include a non-volatile memory module and a controller that communicates with the non-volatile memory module using a communications bus. In response to receipt of a host command, the controller may generate one or more sets of context commands for communication of data on the communications bus between the controller and an area of memory. The controller may execute the sets of context commands in a cache sequence. During execution of the context commands in the cache sequence, the controller may determine an opportunity window that occurs after execution of a context command of a prior set and before execution of a context command of a current set, during which the controller may utilize the communications bus.
