Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. A request for data located in a memory page of a memory array may be received at a device, and a value of a prefetch counter associated with the memory page may be identified. A portion of the memory page that includes the requested data may then be communicated between a memory array and memory bank of the device based on the value of the prefetch counter. For instance, the portion of the memory page may be selected based on the value of the prefetch counter. A second portion of the memory page may be communicated to a buffer of the device, and the value of the prefetch counter may be modified based on a relationship between the first portion of the memory page and the second portion of the memory page.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for prefetch signaling in a memory system or sub-system are described. A memory device (e.g., a local memory controller of memory device) of a main memory may transmit a prefetch indicator indicating a size of prefetch data associated with a first set of data requested by an interface controller. The size of the prefetch data may be equal to or different than the size of the first set of data. The main memory may, in some examples, store the size of prefetch data along with the first set of data. The memory device may transmit the prefetch indicator (e.g., an indicator signal) to the interface controller using a pin compatible with an industry standard or specification and/or a separate pin configured for transmitting command or control information. The memory device may transmit the prefetch indicator while the first set of data is being transmitted.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory buffer management and bypass are described. Data corresponding to a page size of a memory array may be received at a virtual memory bank of a memory device, and a value of a counter associated with the virtual memory bank may be incremented. Upon determining that a value of the counter has reached a threshold value, the data may be communicated from the virtual memory bank to a buffer of the same memory device. For instance, the counter may be incremented based on the virtual memory bank receiving an access command from a host device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a latency indication in a memory system or sub-system are described. An interface controller of a memory system may transmit an indication of a time delay (e.g., a wait signal) to a host in response to receiving an access command from the host. The interface controller may transmit such an indication when a latency associated with performing the access command is likely to be greater than a latency anticipated by the host. The interface controller may determine a time delay based on a status of buffer or a status of memory device, or both. The interface controller may use a pin designated and configured to transmit a command or control information to the host when transmitting a signal including an indication of a time delay. The interface controller may use a quantity, duration, or pattern of pulses to indicate a duration of a time delay.
