Abstract
Memory systems and components thereof perform clustering on workload items. Such a memory system comprises a memory device from which data is read and to which data is written; and a memory controller that receives from a host workload items in a workload sequence, each workload item being defined by at least a start logical block address (LBA) and a length. The memory controller merges sequential workload items in the workload sequence to constitute a single workload item; identifies a start workload item for a candidate cluster; stores the LBA and a hit count of the start workload item in a hash table of the memory controller; identifies an end workload item for the candidate cluster; determines whether the candidate cluster is found in the workload sequence more than a threshold number of times; and, if so, accepts the candidate cluster.
