Abstract
A method of operating a storage module, the method including setting a characteristic value based on information received from a host, the information including information related to a size of write data in units of cache lines, and successively receiving the write data in units of the cache lines based on a single write command received from the host.
Claims20
A method of operating a storage module, the method comprising:
- setting a characteristic value based on information received from a host, the information including information related to a size of write data in units of a plurality of cache lines;
- and
- successively receiving the write data in units of the plurality of cache lines based on a single write command received from the host,
- wherein the single write command is implemented by a single bit of a write command received from the host.
1 more element
A storage module comprising:
- a memory device that includes a volatile memory;
- and
- a memory controller configured to control the memory device, the memory controller including:
- a control module configured to decode a setting command received from a host to identify first information on a size of write data, and to determine a number of cache line unit data to be successively received from the host based on the size of the write data;
- and
- a register configured to store first information on the number of cache line unit data to be successively received,
- wherein the memory device includes a plurality of bank groups,
- wherein the control module is configured to decode the setting command to identify second information on a toggle mode that indicates whether the write data to be received is associated with different bank groups of the plurality of bank groups or a same bank group of the plurality of bank groups, and
- wherein the register stores the second information.
6 more elements
A memory system comprising:
- a host configured to determine a number of cache lines to be write-requested;
- and
- a storage module configured to receive information related to the number of cache lines from the host and a toggle mode that indicates whether the number of cache lines is associated with different bank groups of a plurality of bank groups or a same bank group of the plurality of bank groups, identify a number of cache line unit data to be successively received and bank groups of the plurality of bank groups associated with the number of cache line unit data based on the information, and successively receive data in units of the cache line unit data based on a single write command.
