Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. A method comprising:
reading, with a memory, data from a plurality of memory dies using one or more multi-commands;
performing asynchronous independent plane reads (AIPR) on the plurality of memory dies;
communicating the data that is read to a flash interface module (FIM) with a bus and channel transfers on the bus,
wherein the channel transfers include a plurality of data transfers of the data that is read and a plurality of overheads associated with performing the AIPR on the plurality of memory dies, and
wherein a number of the plurality of overheads is less than a number of the plurality of data transfers;
determining whether a current parallelism at the plurality of memory dies is enough to saturate the FIM;
determining whether new commands are issued after a time window; and
holding the new commands for a period of time in response to determining that the current parallelism at the plurality of memory dies is enough to saturate the FIM and in response to determining that the new commands are issued after the time window.
