Abstract: A data storage system includes a controller comprising pipelined multiple processors. The controller is configured to: generate plural instructions having dependency based on a command, input from an external device, for controlling at least one storage device to perform an operation corresponding to the command; allocate the plural instructions to the pipelined multiple processors in stages; and reallocate, when a number of second instructions allocated to a second processor of the pipelined multiple processors becomes a first threshold or greater, at least one of the second instructions to a first processor of the multiple processors.

Abstract: The storage device may receive a condition for a down-time mode from the host. The storage device may cache, when the condition for the down-time mode is determined as satisfied, at least a part of update data units in the update cache. The storage device may process a read command received from the host in the down-time mode based on update data units cached in the update cache.

Abstract: A controller includes at least one register configured to store a doorbell regarding a submission queue storing at least one request generated by a host, a first cache configured to store data corresponding to a first result of an operation performed in response to the at least one request, a second cache configured to store data corresponding to a second result of an operation performed in response to a read look ahead (RLA) request generated based on the at least one request, and a cache size manager configured to adjust a size of the second cache based on an update cycle of the doorbell and a change of a number of the at least one request corresponding to the doorbell.

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.
