Abstract
Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including providing available data operations for the storage system processor to a host processor, identifying data operations to be performed by the storage system processor, and assigning identified data operations to the storage system processor to reduce bus traffic between the host processor and the storage system processor, to improve host processor performance, and to reduce energy use by the host processor.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a plurality of non-volatile memory cells;
- and
- a memory controller coupled to the plurality of non-volatile memory cells, wherein the memory controller is configured to:
- indicate, to a host processor, one or more data operations that the memory controller is configurable to perform;
- receive, from the host processor, an indication of a data operation of the one or more data operations;
- and
- perform the data operation on one or more non-volatile memory cells of the plurality of non-volatile memory cells based on the indication.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a host processor, causes a host device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an indication of a plurality of data operations that a memory controller of a memory device is configurable to perform;
- identifying a data operation of the plurality of data operations to be performed by the memory controller;
- and
- assigning the identified data operation to the memory controller.
A method, comprising:
- indicating, to a host processor, one or more data operations that a memory controller is configurable to perform;
- receiving, from the host processor, an instruction configured to cause the memory controller to perform a data operation of the one or more data operations;
- and
- performing, based on the instruction, the data operation on a plurality of non-volatile memory cells.
