Concurrent Request Scheduling

A method (1400) of storage access scheduling for a memory device for a workload of different priority access requests including access requests having a real-time priority. The method includes characterizing the memory device (1402) including determining a balanced number (N) of concurrent access requests associated with a concurrent access maximum throughput associated with the memory device. The method also includes characterizing the workload (1404). The method also includes receiving a real-time access request (1406) associated with an access request storage location value. The method also includes processing the real-time access request (1408), utilizing a processor, based on the access request storage location value and the values obtained from characterizing the memory device and the workload.
