Application: Method and apparatus for performing data access performance shaping of memory device (Patent ID: US20230315337A1)
The patent filed by Silicon Motion Technology Corp. describes a method and apparatus for shaping data access performance of a memory device by monitoring host commands and controlling performance metrics of access control groups using a dual-state leaky bucket model. The method involves receiving host commands for data access on non-volatile memory, determining performance metrics based on the commands, and dynamically adjusting performance quotas by configuring the dual-state leaky bucket model. This system allows for efficient management of data access performance by controlling drain rates based on the state of the leaky bucket model, ensuring optimal performance allocation among different access control groups.
The patent further details the implementation of the method in a memory controller of the memory device, which includes a processing circuit, transmission interface circuit, and data access performance shaping engine circuit. The memory controller receives host commands, monitors performance metrics of access control groups using the dual-state leaky bucket model, and dynamically adjusts performance quotas based on the state of the model. By utilizing this system, the memory controller can effectively shape data access performance, allocate performance quotas among different access control groups, and ensure efficient data access operations on the non-volatile memory. This technology can be applied in various electronic devices to enhance data access performance and optimize memory device operations.
