Abstract: Provided herein is a memory controller for controlling a memory device. The memory controller includes a workload detector configured to determine a change in workload based on reception of a changed request from a host or a change in clock received from an external device, a device performance controller configured to determine, if the workload is determined as changed, read performance based on a ratio of a size of data output to the host to a size of data requested from the host every preset period and configured to output a read-look-ahead (RLA) command to the memory device based on the determined read performance, a buffer memory configured to store data read from the memory device in response to the RLA command and a memory size controller configured to control a size of the buffer memory. The RLA command instructs to output data which is frequently requested from the host.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a controller configured to receive a first encoded data item and a write request from a host, the first encoded data item being encoded based on a hamming code. The controller is further configured to store the first encoded data item in a write buffer, decode the first encoded data item stored in the write buffer based on the hamming code to detect and correct a first error in the first encoded data item to obtain a first error-corrected data item, encode the first error-corrected data item based on an error correction code to generate a second encoded data item, and transmit the second encoded data item to program the second encoded data item in a non-volatile memory device.
