In some embodiments, a system includes a memory system, plurality of computing devices, and plurality of queues. The plurality of computing devices perform actions dependent on data stored at the memory device, where traffic between the plurality of computing devices and the memory device has at least a first priority level and a second priority level. The first priority level is higher than the second priority level. The plurality of queues pass data between the memory device and the plurality of computing devices. A particular queue allocates a first portion of the particular queue to traffic having the first priority level and allocates a second portion of the particular queue to traffic having the first priority level and to traffic having the second priority level.
