Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for distributed program operation. One apparatus includes a memory module comprising non-volatile memory. Here, the memory module is configured to program a page of non-volatile memory with a first number of program cycles and indicate (e.g., to a host) that the page is partially programmed. The memory module is also configured to program the page with a second number of program cycles after a predetermined time, wherein the memory module performs one or more other storage operations during the predetermined time, and indicate (e.g., to the host) that the page is fully programmed.
