STORAGE DEVICE, MULTI-COMPONENT DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING OPERATION OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18074615 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE, MULTI-COMPONENT DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING OPERATION OF THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a storage device that includes a solid state drive (SSD), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a power sensor, and a global controller. The SSD stores data and receives power from a host device. The FPGA processes data and also receives power from the host device. The power sensor measures the total power consumed by the SSD and the FPGA. The global controller determines the priority component (either the SSD or the FPGA) based on power control information from the host device.
- The storage device includes an SSD, FPGA, power sensor, and global controller.
- The SSD stores data and receives power from a host device.
- The FPGA processes data and receives power from the host device.

Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device includes a solid state drive (SSD), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a power sensor and a global controller. The SSD stores data and receives power through a power rail connected to a host device. The FPGA processes data read from the SSD or data to be stored in the SSD and receives power through the power rail. The power sensor is connected to the power rail and generates a measured power value corresponding to a total power consumed by the SSD and the FPGA by measuring the total power. The global controller determines one of the SSD and the FPGA as a priority component operating with a fixed performance and determines the other of the SSD and the FPGA as a non-priority component operating with a variable performance in a priority mode based on power control information provided from the host device.
