Abstract: In one embodiment, dynamic host memory buffer allocation in accordance with the present description includes sensing a level of activity of a memory or storage and dynamically allocating a portion of a host memory as a buffer to the non-volatile memory, as a function of a sensed level of activity of the non-volatile memory. Such dynamic allocation of host memory buffers as a function of sensed levels of activity, can improve the efficiency of the allocation of memory resources and improve system performance. Other aspects are described herein.
