Abstract
Embodiments of this disclosure relate to improving solid-state non-volatile memory management. Embodiments improve the management of solid-state non-volatile memory by providing an execution manager responsible for controlling the timing of providing a request to a memory unit for execution. In embodiments, the execution manager traverses a list of received requests for memory access and dispatches commands for execution. In embodiments, if a request is directed to memory units which have reached a threshold for outstanding requests, the request may be skipped so that other requests can be dispatched for memory units which have not yet reached the threshold.
