Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer-readable media for dynamically improving performance of a host memory controller and a hosted memory device are presented. According to one or more aspects, a memory controller may establish a data connection with a memory device. The memory controller may perform a first write operation of a plurality of write operations to the memory device using a first block size. Subsequently, the memory controller may perform a second write operation of the plurality of write operations to the memory device using a second block size different from the first block size. The memory controller then may determine an optimal value for a block size parameter based at least in part on the plurality of write operations. Thereafter, the memory controller may use the optimal value for the block size parameter in performing one or more regular tasks involving the memory device.
