Claim Text:
1. An electronically-implemented method of accessing memory, the method comprising: receiving a read command including a first portion of a memory address of a memory device, wherein the first portion of the memory address identifies a memory partition of the memory device, wherein the first portion is less than all of the memory address, wherein the memory address is received serially; determining that a write operation is being performed in the same memory partition, starting a process of interrupting the write operation prior to receiving all of the memory address; storing a memory address of the write operation responsive to the process of interrupting the write operation; reading contents of the memory partition at the memory address; retrieving the stored memory address of the write operation subsequent to reading the contents of the memory partition; and resuming the write operation based at least in part on the retrieved stored memory address of the write operation.
