Patent attributes
A system includes one or more memory devices and a processing device coupled to the memory device(s) to perform operations including receiving a first set of data items from a host system to be programmed to the one or more memory devices. The operations include determining, in view of a first zone group identifier associated with the first set of data items, that each data item of the first set of data items is to be programed to one or more zones associated with a first zone group identified by the first zone group identifier. The operations include identifying a first set of zones across the one or more memory devices that match a size associated with the first zone group and that satisfy a programming parallelism criterion. The operations include programming each of the first set of data items to memory cells residing at the identified first set of zones.
