Abstract
A method performed by a non volatile memory is described. The method includes receiving a first command from a controller to perform an operation. The method also includes receiving a second command from the controller to perform a read operation, where, the controller does not send a third command to suspend the operation between the first and second commands.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a solid state drive having a controller and a non volatile memory, the non volatile memory to receive a read command from the controller while the controller is performing another operation and without the controller sending a suspend command to the non volatile memory to suspend the non volatile's performing of the another operation.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a) a host comprising:
- i) plurality of processing cores;
- ii) a peripheral control hub;
- b) an NVMe link coupled to the peripheral control hub;
- c) a solid state drive coupled to the peripheral control hub through the NVMe link, the solid state drive having a having a controller and a non volatile memory, the non volatile memory to receive a read command from the controller while the non volatile memory is performing another operation and without the controller sending a suspend command to the non volatile memory to suspend the non volatile memory's performing of the another operation.
