Abstract:
A storage device includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller includes a job manager circuit and a processor. The job manager circuit manages a first-type job associated with the nonvolatile memory, and the processor processes a second-type job associated with the nonvolatile memory. The job manager circuit manages the first-type job without intervention of the processor. The processor provides a management command to the job manager circuit in response to a notification received from the job manager circuit, such that the second-type job is processed.
