1. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:
one or more components configured to acquire magnetic resonance data when operated;
at least one controller comprising a first controller; and
at least one processor configured to determine times to issue individual commands from the first controller to the one or more components,
wherein the first controller is configured to control the one or more components to operate in accordance with a first pulse sequence at least in part by:
receiving, from the at least one processor, a sequence of commands for controlling the one or more components to operate in accordance with the first pulse sequence; and
issuing at least one command of the sequence of commands to the one or more components, in accordance with the determined times to issue the at least one command, before completing reception of the sequence of commands from the at least one processor.
