Abstract:
Systems and methods for using host command data buffers as extended memory device volatile memory are disclosed. NVM Express implements a paired submission queue and completion queue mechanism, with host software on the host device placing commands into the submission queue. Commands may include an indication of a host buffer, resident on the host device, in which to store data for access by the host device. The memory device may use the host buffer as extended memory during execution of the command. As one example, the memory device may process the command in stages, with each stage retrieving data from the host buffer, manipulating the data, and writing the processed data to the same host buffer. As another example, the host buffer can be used for memory device internal relocation and garbage collection operations. Thus, the area/cost of the memory device controller is reduced since less volatile memory is required.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein:\n performing the second stage to generate second stage data comprises using the one or more transfer buffers to store the first stage data transferred from the host buffer; and causing the second stage data to be stored in the host buffer comprises using the one or more transfer buffers to store the second stage data prior to causing the second stage data to be transferred from the one or more transfer buffers to the host buffer.
