In at least one embodiment of the invention, a method includes scheduling a memory request associated with a thread executing on a processing system. The scheduling is based on a job length of the thread and a priority step function of job length. The thread is one of a plurality of threads executing on the processing system. In at least one embodiment of the method, the priority step function is a function of ┌x/2n┐ for x<=m and P(x)=m/2n for x>m, where x is the number of memory requests in a memory request queue and n and m are integers. In at least one embodiment of the method, the priority step function is a function of 2n×┌ log2(x)┐, where x is the number of memory requests in a memory request queue and n is an integer.
