Abstract
A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to receive a read command to read data from the memory device or a write command to write data to the memory device from a host device, determine whether a bottleneck exists in a data/control path between the host device and the memory device, wherein the bottleneck exists in a hardware module of the plurality of hardware modules, and execute a bottleneck release operation when the bottleneck exists in the data/control path between the host device and the memory device, wherein the bottleneck release operation is dependent on whether the bottleneck exists in the input queue. The bottleneck release operation includes changing a clock of the hardware module, moving the command to a different hardware module configured to process the command, and combinations thereof.
