Abstract: Generally, a computing system includes processing circuitry, such as one or more processors or other suitable components, and memory devices, such as chips or integrated circuits. The memory devices may be associated with thermal limits. Saving data in such a way that causes a thermal limit of the memory device to be exceeded may cause loss of stored data and/or device over-heating. As discussed herein, a memory controller associated with the processing circuitry may determine whether a thermal limit is expected to be exceeded for a current memory writing operation. When the thermal limit is expected to be exceeded, the memory controller may respond by modifying the memory operation in such a manner that the thermal limit is not exceeded, thereby improving operation of at least the memory device and/or memory controller.
