Adaptive power balancing for memory device operations

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a controller based on measurements of power consumption monitoring circuits of each memory device in a set of one or more memory devices, a first amount of power actually consumed by each respective operation in a set of operations for each memory device in the set of one or more memory devices for at least one previous iteration of each respective operation;
• and
• utilizing a second amount of power to perform a next iteration of each respective operation based on the first amount of power actually consumed by each respective operation in the at least one previous iteration,
• wherein the at least one previous iteration comprises an immediately preceding iteration.

An apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of memory elements;
• means for monitoring measured amounts of electrical power actually used for execution of each of a plurality of operations on different memory elements of the plurality of memory elements;
• and
• means for adjusting subsequent execution of one or more operations of the plurality of operations based on the monitored amounts of electrical power to fit within power budgets for different memory elements of the plurality of memory elements,
• wherein the monitored measured amounts of electrical power actually used include an amount of electrical power actually used in an immediately preceding iteration for the plurality of operations.
