Abstract
Aspects relate to dynamically adapting the number of erase suspend operations on a non-volatile memory (NVM) based on the workload. In some aspects, erase suspend optimization involves computing a workload statistic based on at least read operations performed on the NVM over time, setting a maximum number of erase suspend operations allowed to be performed when the workload statistic compares favorably to a workload threshold, and preventing erase suspend operations from being performed when the workload statistic compares unfavorably to the workload threshold.
