Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
setting, in a memory of an information handling system, an initial idle time prior to transition (ITPT) setting as a current ITPT setting for a memory device of the information handling system;
monitoring input/output (I/O) commands from a host in the information handling system, including:
increasing a first counter in response to the memory device entering a non-operational mode based on the current ITPT setting; and
increasing a second counter in response to the memory device entering an operational mode within a particular amount of time from when the memory device entered the non-operational mode;

varying the current ITPT setting based on a current ratio of the second counter to the first counter;
comparing the current ratio to a previous ratio;
in response to the current ratio being both greater than the previous ratio and greater than a particular ratio threshold, increasing the current ITPT setting by a step size and repeating the monitoring of the I/O commands; and
in response to the current ratio being both less than or equal to the previous ratio and less than the particular ratio threshold, decreasing the current ITPT setting by the step size and repeating the monitoring of the I/O commands.
