  • LINK OPTIMIZATION FOR SSDS
    Publication number: 20240385775
    Abstract: Optimizing the time that a link is active in a data storage device is desirable. Changing the way the device processes commands will minimize the link uptime and maximize the time that the link can remain in a low power mode. The data storage device will control the command arbitration from the host to aggregate together command chunks as large as possible, such that will extend the link down durations, and won't need to wake the link up occasionally. In another approach the execution of commands from internal buffers of the host will be prioritized according to command-batch completion criteria, and not based on minimizing the latency of a single command.
