Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a memory and a scheduler. The scheduler is coupled to the memory and a memory controller. The memory stores a plurality of metadata requests. Each of the plurality of metadata requests is associated with one of a plurality of metadata priority levels. The scheduler schedules transmission of a first metadata request of the plurality of metadata requests to the memory controller based at least in part on a first metadata priority level associated with the first metadata request and a first bandwidth portion of a metadata request bandwidth. The first bandwidth portion is associated with the first metadata priority level. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
