ABSTRACT:
Iterative write pausing techniques to improve read latency of memory systems including memory systems with phase change memory (PCM) devices. A PCM device includes a plurality of memory locations and a mechanism for executing an iterative write to one or more of the memory locations in response to receiving a write command that includes data to be written. The executing includes initiating the iterative write, updating a state of the iterative write, pausing the iterative write including saving the state in response to receiving a pause command, and resuming the iterative write in response to receiving a resume command. The resuming is responsive to the saved state and to the data to be written.
