Abstract

A method includes receiving a first memory access request from a first device (116, 118, 120) during a first interval. The first memory access request is to access a first page of a multiple-page memory (104). The method further includes receiving a second memory access request from the first device during a second interval subsequent to the first interval and receiving a third memory access request from a second device (116, 118, 120) during the second interval. The method additionally includes preferentially selecting the second memory access request over the third memory access request for provision to the multiple-page memory if an indicator indicates the second memory access request is expected to access the first page of the multiple-page memory.
