Abstract
Systems and methods for allocating memory usage based on voltage regulator efficiency are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method may include receiving a first efficiency value of a first voltage regulator associated with a first memory device among multiple memory devices. The method may also include receiving a second efficiency value of a second voltage regulator associated with a second memory device of the memory devices. The method may also include receiving a request to write data to one of the first memory devices and the second memory device. The method may also include determining whether to write the data to the first memory device or the second memory device based on the first and second efficiency values. Further, the method may include writing the data to the first memory device or the second memory device based on the determination.
