Abstract

Operation based polling in a memory system. A device manager is provided to perform efficient polling by utilizing the effective bandwidth of the memory system, in a controller coupled to a communication end point. The device manager includes a detection module for detecting a type of operation sent to the communication end point. The device manager also includes a storage module for storing a polling interval value based on a time period of the type of operation in a polling counter of the controller. Further, the device manager includes a controlling module for controlling a polling operation of the controller in such a way that the controller polls the communication end point after a wait period according to the polling interval value.
