    摘要: A computing system includes a first storage device, a second storage device, a memory device, and a compute express link (CXL) switch. The memory device stores first map data of the first storage device and second map data of the second storage device. The CXL switch is connected with the first storage device, the second storage device, and an external host through a first interface, and arbitrates communications between the first storage device, the second storage device, and the external host. The first storage device is connected with the memory device through a second interface. The second storage device is connected with the memory device through a third interface. The first interface, the second interface, and the third interface are physically separated from each other.

    摘要: A method of operating storage devices, a memory device, a host device, and a switch, is provided. The method includes: receiving, by the memory device, a first request corresponding to target user data from the host device; generating, by the memory device, first input/output (I/O) stream information based on telemetry information corresponding to the storage devices and map data in a buffer memory of the memory device based on the first request, wherein the first I/O stream information indicates a data path between a first storage device of the storage devices and the host device; providing, by the memory device, a first redirection request including the first request and the first I/O stream information to the host device or the first storage device through the switch; and processing the target user data according to the first I/O stream information in the first redirection request.

    摘要: A computing device includes a storage device and a memory. The storage device includes nonvolatile and internal buffer memories, and a storage controller that controls the nonvolatile and internal buffer memories and communicates with a bus. The memory includes a buffer memory and a memory controller that controls the buffer memory and communicates with the bus. The nonvolatile memory stores user data and map data. In an initialization operation, the storage controller sends the map data to the memory through the bus, and the memory controller stores the map data that is transferred from the storage device through the bus, in the buffer memory. After the initialization operation, the memory controller sends partial map data of the map data to the storage device through the bus, and the storage controller stores the partial map data that is transferred from the memory through the bus, in the internal buffer memory.
