Abstract
A method including sorting read/write commands initiated by a memory controller based upon a destination page within a memory device. The read/write commands having a highest priority level are determined. The commands are then categorized as either page movement commands or data movement commands. The page movement commands or data movement commands are sent to the memory device based upon a signal indicating a current direction of a data bus providing communication between the memory controller and the memory device and further based upon a priority level.
