The linked-list controlling module is configured to receive and process a first command comprising a write command or a read command. The linked-list controlling module constructs at least one linked-list head based on scheduling dependencies and determines whether the first command is dependency-hit by comparing the first command with the existing commands buffered in the global order buffer module. If the first command is dependency-hit, the linked-list controlling module is configured to trigger a write merging process or a read snarfing process.”
