Workload-aware memory controller based on compact workload representation and method thereof

A method for operating a controller of a memory system, the method comprising:

• providing an encoder and firmware (FW) coupled to the encoder including a plurality of recurrent encoding blocks, which includes first to last encoding blocks;
• receiving, by each recurrent encoding block, one of a plurality of input commands in an input workload associated with a memory device;
• generating, by each recurrent encoding block, a hidden state vector corresponding to the received input command by applying a set of activation functions on the received input command;
• determining, by the firmware, a distance function between a compact representation vector corresponding to the plurality of input commands and each of multiple compact workload vectors comprising compact representations of input workloads to the memory system;
• and
• tuning, by the firmware, at least one of firmware parameters based on the determined distances,
• wherein the last encoding block generates a final hidden state vector as a compact representation vector.
