According to the embodiments, a controller includes an arbiter, a command fetch unit, and a processing unit. The arbiter executes a retrieval process. The retrieval process is a process of selecting a queue, to which a command is issued, out of plural queues by retrieval according to a round robin method. The command fetch unit fetches a command from the selected queue. The processing unit executes a process according to the fetched command to a memory chip. The arbiter manages a retrieval position. When a new command is issued to any one of the plural queues in an empty state in which there is no queue to which a command is issued, the arbiter has the retrieval position jump to the queue to which the new command is issued.
