APPARATUS AND METHOD TO PROVIDE CACHE MOVE WITH NON-VOLATILE MASS MEMORY SYSTEM

摘要

A method includes, in one non-limiting embodiment,receiving a command originating from an initiator at a controller associated with a non-volatile mass memory coupled with a host device, the command being a command to write data that is currently resident in a memory of the host device to thenon-volatile mass memory; moving the data that is currently resident in the memory of the host device from an original location to a portion of the memory allocated for use at least by the non-volatile mass memory; and acknowledging to the initiator that the command to write the data to the non-volatile mass memory has been executed.An apparatus configured to perform the method is also described.
