Abstract:
A memory device is configured to communicate with a plurality of host devices, through an interconnect, and includes a memory including a plurality of memory regions that includes a first memory region that is assigned to a first host device and a second memory region that is assigned to a second host device. The memory device further includes a direct memory access (DMA) engine configured to, based on a request from the first host device, the request including a copy command to copy data that is stored in the first memory region to the second memory region, read the stored data from the first memory region, and write the read data to the second memory region without outputting the read data to the interconnect.
