ABSTRACT:
A system includes a memory device. The memory device has a first bank and a second bank. A memory controller has a write request queue to store write requests. When a read bank conflict exists between a first read request to the first bank and a second read request to the first bank, a first write request is executed to the second bank during a delay. The delay takes place after the first read request is executed and before the second read request is executed.
