Abstract:
1. A method for simultaneous read and write operations to be performed in a NAND-type memory device, the method comprising: assigning a first partition in a NAND-type memory device, wherein the first partition is configured to perform read operations on high priority read content; assigning a second partition in the NAND-type memory device, wherein the second partition is configured to perform read operations and write operations, wherein the read operations are performed on non-high priority read content; and controlling the first partition and second partition to operate in a simultaneous manner, wherein the step of controlling includes forming a first queue and a second queue from a primary queue, wherein the first queue executes read operations associated with the first partition and the second queue executes read and write operations associated with the second partition and the first queue and the second queue are executed in parallel, wherein when additional content is required to be written to the first partition, a temporary write is made to the second partition to store the additional content and the additional content is transferred to the first partition during an idle time associated with a system in which the NAND-type memory device is coupled.
