 **Postpone Refresh**
 
 Similarly, the decision to postpone a refresh is done if there are pending
-requests on the buffer. Given that having requests might mean a hit, we want
-to postpone the refresh to avoid breaking row hit sequences and reducing the
-number of commands (e.g., ACT, PRE) to carry out the memory accesses. If the
-memory enters an idle state, a burst is issued for the same number of REF
-commands that were postponed.
