Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing a memory command on a computer system. During operation, a command scheduler executing on a memory controller of the computer system obtains a predicted latency of the memory command based on a memory address to be accessed by the memory command. Next, the command scheduler orders the memory command with other memory commands in a command queue for subsequent processing by a memory resource on the computer system based on the predicted latency of the memory command.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for processing a memory command on a computer system, comprising: obtaining, by a command scheduler executing on a memory controller of the computer system, a predicted latency of the memory command based on a memory address to be accessed by the memory command; and ordering, by the command scheduler, the memory command with other memory commands in a command queue for subsequent processing by a memory resource on the computer system based on t…
