  • Patent number: 8341374
    Abstract: A solid state drive (SSD) comprises an input/output interface and a memory controller. The input/output interface stores a plurality of input/output commands. The memory controller comprises first and second input/output contexts and an input/output scheduler. The first and second input/output contexts process input/output commands from the input/output interface in an alternating sequence. The input/output scheduler schedules operations of the first and second input/output contexts. In particular, the input/output scheduler suspends execution of a first input/output command by the first input/output context upon determining that an execution time of the first input/output command exceeds an interval before a deadline time. After suspending execution of the first input/output command, the input/output scheduler transmits a second input/output command to the second input/output context.
