    摘要: A hybrid storage device includes a controller, a volatile storage unit, and a non-volatile storage unit. When the hybrid storage device is in a first working mode, the volatile storage unit is in an enabled state, and the non-volatile storage unit is in a disabled state; when the hybrid storage device is in a second working mode, the non-volatile storage unit is in an enabled state, and the volatile storage unit is in a disabled state. When the hybrid storage device runs in the first working mode, and when detecting that a running parameter of the computer meets a first switching condition, the controller enables the non-volatile storage unit, copies data in the volatile storage unit to the non-volatile storage unit, and switches the hybrid storage device to the second working mode.

    摘要: A memory access method, a storage-class memory, and a computer system are provided. The computer system includes a memory controller and a hybrid memory, and the hybrid memory includes a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and a storage-class memory (SCM). The memory controller sends a first access instruction to the DRAM and the SCM. When determining that a first memory cell set that is of the DRAM and to which a first address in the received first access instruction points includes a memory cell whose retention time is shorter than a refresh cycle of the DRAM, the SCM may obtain a second address having a mapping relationship with the first address. Further, the SCM converts, according to the second address, the first access instruction into a second access instruction for accessing the SCM, to implement access to the SCM.
