Abstract
In one embodiment, a read/write chip for a hard disc drive has at least one on-chip, in-channel, hardware-based optimization processor that is part of one or more channels (e.g., read, write, and/or servo) of the read/write chip. The optimization processor can iteratively evaluate the performance of a channel for different values of one or more different parameters that control channel processing by generating an appropriate metric value for each different parameter value. The optimization processor can then select an optimal parameter value for subsequent channel processing.
