Abstract:
System and methods are provided for storing address-mapping data from a storage device on a processing system. Address-mapping data is stored on a non-volatile memory of a storage device, the address-mapping data indicating mapping from logical addresses to physical addresses of the non-volatile memory of the storage device. The address-mapping data is transmitted from the non-volatile memory to a processing system. In response to a request to access a logical address of the non-volatile memory, part of the address-mapping data is transferred from the processing system to a volatile memory of the storage device, the part of the address-mapping data being associated with a mapping from the logical address to a physical address of the non-volatile memory.
