An embodiment of an electronic apparatus may include one or more substrates, and a controller coupled to the one or more substrates, the controller including circuitry to control access to NAND-based storage media that includes a plurality of NAND devices, determine if a current workload for a particular NAND device of the plurality of NAND devices is a random write workload, and, if so determined, disable a program suspend operation for only the particular NAND device. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

A device and related method, the device including system memory for storing at least two queue groups, each of which includes commands, and processing circuitry. For each respective queue group, the processing circuitry determines an allocated command value indicative of a number of commands that are capable of being fetched from the respective queue group, determines a number of outstanding commands to be fetched from the respective queue group, and compares the allocated command value to the number of outstanding commands to be fetched for the respective queue group. When the allocated command value is greater than the number of outstanding commands to be fetched for the respective queue group, the processing circuitry designates the respective queue group as an available queue group. The processing circuitry then selects a queue group from the designated available queue groups and fetches at least one command from the selected queue group.

Devices and methods for managing command fetch and command execution

A method performed by a solid state drive is described. The method includes, on a channel that internally couples a controller of the solid state drive to a storage device of the solid state drive, sending write data for a program operation to be performed by one of the storage device's logical units in separate chunks over the channel. The method also includes inserting higher priority traffic items of other logical units of the storage device in between the separate chunks.

Mechanisms for prioritizing read commands over write commands to a storage device are provided, the mechanisms comprising: determining counts of read commands targeting a plurality of portions of the storage device; calculating a threshold based on a function of an average of the counts of read commands targeting the plurality of portions of the storage device; determining that a count of read command(s) targeting one of the plurality of portions of the storage device meets the threshold; and in response to determining that the count of read command(s) targeting the one of the plurality of portions of the storage device meets the threshold, prioritizing a read command to access the one of the plurality of portions of the storage device over at least one write command.

Systems, methods, and media for prioritizing read accesses to storage devices

Recovering worker shares from read prioritization including: while read accesses (RA) to a storage device (SD) are being prioritized over write accesses (WA) to the SD: determining a first count of RA to the SD; performing a first adjusting of a base read share percentage (RSP) to a first adjusted RSP for RA to the SD based on the first count of RA; and controlling read access to the SD based on the first adjusting; determining that RA to the SD have completed being prioritized over WA to the SD; and after RA to the SD have completed being prioritized: determining a second count of WA to the SD; performing a second adjusting of the first adjusted RSP to a second adjusted RSP for RA to the SD based on the second count of WA; and controlling write access to the SD based on the second adjusting.

A data structure is maintained for performing a program operation that is allowed to be suspended to perform reads in a NAND device, where the data structure indicates a plurality of tiers, where each tier of the plurality of tiers has a number of allowed suspends of the program operation while executing in the tier, and where a sum of the number of allowed suspends for all tiers of the plurality of tiers equals a maximum allowed number of suspends of the program operation. In response to performing a resume of the program operation, after performing a read following a suspend of the program operation, a determination is made of a tier of the plurality of tiers for the program operation and a subsequent suspend of the program operation is performed only after a measure of progress of the program operation has been exceeded in the determined tier.

Independent multi-plane commands for non-volatile memory devices are described. In one example, a three-dimensional (3D) NAND memory device includes 3D NAND dies, each die including multiple planes of memory cells. The device includes input/output (I/O) circuitry to receive multiple commands from a host, each of the received commands to access one of the planes. The device includes logic (which can be implemented with, for example, an ASIC controller, firmware, or both) to queue the commands in separate queues for each of the planes based on a target plane of each of the commands. The logic issues the commands to their target planes independent of other planes' status, and tracks completion status of the commands independently for each plane.
