Abstract
A method for operating a memory system includes receiving thermal data indicating a temperature at addresses in a memory array, and a write request associate with data. An address of the write request is decoded. It is determined whether a temperature at the address of the write request is above a threshold temperature. The data is sent to a short latency write queue responsive to determining that the temperature is not above the threshold temperature.
