Summary:Systems and methods for permitting flexible use of volatile memory for storing read command prediction data in a memory device, or in a host memory buffer accessible by the memory device, while preserving accuracy in predicting read commands and pre-fetching data are disclosed. The read command prediction data may be in the form of history pattern match table having entries indexed to a search sequence of one or more commands historically preceding the read command in the indexed table entry. A host trigger requesting the limited volatile memory space, a lower power state that is detected, or a memory device-initiated need may trigger generation of and subsequent use of a smaller table for the prediction process while the larger table is released. The memory device may later regenerate the larger table when more space in the volatile memory becomes available.
