Abstract: Techniques are presented to help keep all possible independent-NAND-access-channels busy even when the traffic from the host is not arriving evenly. Incoming commands from a flash translation layer for a device are directed by a command issuer to separate queues for admin (device management), reads, writes, erases and, in the exemplary embodiment, high-priority reads. A queue-picker can then switch between various command queues, where individual read, write and erase queues for a device can be further divided into die-based queues. A complementary set of techniques provide a certain level of performance, termed as Quality-Of-Service (QoS), by implementing QoS in terms of physical addresses.
