Abstract
A system includes a first memory device including a non-volatile memory device, a second memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the first memory device and the second memory device, to perform operations including configuring a system in accordance with a configuration designating an interface standard for exposing a storage element implemented on the first memory device to a first protocol of the interface standard and a persistent memory region (PMR) implemented on the second memory device to a second protocol of the interface standard, and performing at least one system operation based on the configuration.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a first memory device comprising a non-volatile memory device;
- a second memory device;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled with the first memory device and the second memory device, to perform operations comprising:
- configuring the system in accordance with a configuration designating an interface standard for exposing a storage element implemented on the first memory device to a first protocol of the interface standard and a persistent memory region (PMR) implemented on the second memory device to a second protocol of the interface standard, wherein the configuration designates the interface standard at a first port for exposing the storage element and a first region of the PMR and at a second port for exposing the storage element and a second region of the PMR;
- and
- performing at least one system operation based on the configuration.
A method comprising:
- configuring, by a processing device, a system in accordance with a configuration designating an interface standard for exposing a storage element implemented on a first memory device to a first protocol of the interface standard and a persistent memory region (PMR) implemented on a second memory device to a second protocol of the interface standard, wherein the first memory device comprises a non-volatile memory device, and wherein the configuration designates the interface standard at a first port for exposing the storage element and a first region of the PMR and at a second port for exposing the storage element and a second region of the PMR;
- and
- performing, by the processing device, at least one system operation based on the configuration.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- configuring a system in accordance with a configuration designating an interface standard for exposing a storage element implemented on a first memory device to a first protocol of the interface standard and a persistent memory region (PMR) implemented on a second memory device to a second protocol of the interface standard, wherein the first memory device comprises a non-volatile memory device, and wherein the configuration designates the interface standard at a first port for exposing the storage element and a first region of the PMR and at a second port for exposing the storage element and a second region of the PMR;
- and
- performing at least one system operation based on the configuration.
