Abstract
Described is a memory controller interfacing with a host and a nonvolatile memory. The memory controller may include a buffer unit configured to store an input address table and a first hot address table; and a processing unit configured to judge whether an address from the host coincides with one of addresses stored in the input address table and to store the address from the host in the first hot address table according to the judgment.
Claims24
A memory controller interfacing with a host and a nonvolatile memory, comprising:
- a buffer unit configured to store an input address table and a first hot address table;
- and
- a processing unit configured to judge whether an address from the host coincides with an address stored in the input address table and to store the address from the host in the first hot address table according to the judgment, the processing unit storing the address from the host in the input address table according to a first-in first-out (FIFO) manner.
(canceled)
A memory controller interfacing with a host and a nonvolatile memory, comprising:
- a buffer unit configured to store a count table including count values corresponding to a plurality of address groups classified according to addresses input from the host;
- and
- a processing unit configured to search an address group that includes an address from the host in the count table, to control the buffer unit such that a count value corresponding to the searched address group increases, and to judge a type of the address from the host according to the count values.
(canceled)
A memory controller interfacing with a host and a nonvolatile memory, comprising:
- a buffer unit configured to store an address table;
- a processing unit configured to categorize an address received from the host and to store the categorized address in the address table based on the categorization of the received address.
