STORAGE DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING STORAGE DEVICE, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17978522 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING STORAGE DEVICE, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a storage device and an electronic device that includes the storage device, along with an operating method for the device. - The storage device includes a memory controller with multiple functions that can be identified as separate storage devices by an external host. - A resource manager is included in the memory controller, which stores characteristic values and resource values corresponding to each of the functions. - A command processor is also part of the memory controller, and it processes commands from the external host based on the resource values of the functions. - The command processor prioritizes commands for the function with the lowest resource value and updates the resource value by accumulating the characteristic value of that function. - The purpose of this innovation is to efficiently manage and prioritize commands for different functions of the storage device based on their resource values.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided herein may be a storage device, an electronic device including the storage device, and an operating method thereof. The storage device may include a memory controller, the memory controller including a plurality of functions configured to be identified as a plurality of storage devices logically separated from each other by an external host, a resource manager configured to store characteristic values and resource values respectively corresponding to the plurality of functions, and a command processor configured to, when commands respectively corresponding to the plurality of functions are received from the external host, preferentially process a command corresponding to a first function having lowest resource value, among the plurality of functions, based on the resource values, and update a resource value of the first function by accumulating an characteristic value of the first function in the resource value of the first function.
