Abstract
A processing device in a memory system receives requests to perform a plurality of memory access operations at a memory device configured with a zone namespace having a plurality of zones. The memory device includes a plurality of planes, wherein each zone of the plurality of zones is associated with a separate plane of the plurality of planes. The processing device further concurrently performs a first memory access operation of the plurality of memory access operations on first data stored in a first zone of the plurality of zones and a second memory access operation of the plurality of memory access operations on second data stored in a second zone of the plurality of zones, wherein the first zone is associated with a first plane of the plurality of planes, and wherein the second zone is associated with a second plane of the plurality of planes.
