Abstract
The invention introduces a method for scheduling and executing commands in a flash memory, performed by a processing unit, including at least the following steps: reading information stored in a command profile space to determine whether a priority command is present in a command queue; de-queuing the priority command from the command queue and executing the priority command when the priority command is present in the command queue; and using a scheduling algorithm to select a simple read/write command from the command queue and executing the simple read/write command when no priority command is present in the command queue.
