Abstract
A storage device includes a cross-point non-volatile memory (NVM) device that includes a first subset of cells. Cells of the first subset of cells may share either a bitline or a wordline. There may be at least one buffer cell on a respective bitline or wordline between each adjacent pair of cells from the first subset of cells. The storage device includes a control module. The control module is configured to receive a set of I/O operations. The control module is configured to execute a first subset of the set of I/O operations in parallel across the first subset of cells of the cross-point memory component. The control module may execute the first subset of the set of I/O operations such that I/O operations are not executed at the respective buffer cells.
