Abstract
Techniques are described for a memory device. In various embodiments, a scheduler/controller is configured to manage data as it read to or written from a memory. A memory is partitioned into a group of sub-blocks, a parity block is associated with the sub-blocks, and the sub-blocks are accessed to read data as needed. A pending write buffer is added to a group of memory sub-blocks. Such a buffer may be sized to be equal to the group of memory sub-blocks. The pending write buffer handles collisions for write accesses to the same block.
