Abstract
A memory system includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices sharing a communication line; and a controller including a buffer and a core, and suitable for controlling the nonvolatile memory devices through the communication line, wherein the core determines a type of a plurality of read requests for the nonvolatile memory devices, and sets a usable size of the buffer depending on the type.
Claims19
A memory system comprising:
- a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices sharing a communication line;
- and
- a controller including a buffer and a core, the controller suitable for controlling the plurality of nonvolatile memory devices through the communication line,
- wherein the core determines a type of a plurality of read requests for the plurality of nonvolatile memory devices, and sets an allowed size of the buffer based on the determined type.

A method for operating a memory system, comprising:
- determining a type of a plurality of read requests for a plurality of nonvolatile memory devices, using a controller;
- and
- setting an allowed size of a buffer of the controller based on the determined type, using the controller.
A method for operating a memory system, comprising:
- adjusting an allowed size of a buffer, using a controller that includes the buffer;
- requesting allocation of clusters for each of a plurality of read requests, using a controller;
- allocating the clusters based on an unused size of the buffer calculated based on the allowed size, using the controller;
- and
- processing a selected read request, among the plurality of read requests, for which the clusters are allocated, using the controller.
