WORKLOAD-AWARE MEMORY CONTROLLER BASED ON COMPACT WORKLOAD REPRESENTATION AND METHOD THEREOF

Compact representation for input workloads is generated in a memory system, A memory controller includes firmware (FW) and an encoder including recurrent encoding blocks. Each recurrent encoding block receives one of input commands in an input workload, and generates a hidden state vector corresponding to the received input command by applying a set of activation functions on the received input command. The last encoding block generates a final hidden state vector as a compact representation vector corresponding to the input commands. The firmware determines a distance function between the compact representation vector and each of multiple compact workload vectors and tunes at least one of firmware parameters based on the determined distances.
