Abstract
Aspects are provided for optimizing game loading and rendering using an RMB dedicated for predicted host data that is accessible to a host and to a controller of a storage device. The controller obtains a bitmap indicating a status of a buffer in the RMB, receives from the host a read command indicating a logical address, predicts and reads from an NVM host data associated with a predicted logical address that is subsequent to the logical address, and loads the host data in the buffer in the RMB if the buffer is free. Subsequent read commands indicating the predicted logical address may lack PRP addresses in response to the host data being loaded in the RMB, while completion queue elements in response to such commands may include PRP addresses in the RMB where the host data is stored. Thus, command creation and completion overhead may be reduced using the RMB.
