A memory system includes a volatile memory, a nonvolatile memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a non-volatilization process to store data in the volatile memory into the nonvolatile memory in response to an initiate request received by the controller if no cancellation request is received by the controller during a cancelable period that begins upon receipt of the initiate request by the controller, and to transmit a completion notification when the non-volatilization process has completed.

Memory system

According to one embodiment, a memory system, comprises a non-volatile memory; a first memory and a second memory; and a memory controller configured to receive a first logical address from a host in a first reading, read a first address conversion table corresponding to the first logical address from the non-volatile memory, and store, in the non-volatile memory, a second address conversion table of a first state stored in the first memory in a case where the first logical address corresponds to a second logical address stored in the second memory.

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The controller executes access to the nonvolatile memory based on a command from a host device. The controller includes a processor, a data memory and a monitoring circuit. The monitoring circuit monitors writing to the data memory by a certain processing circuit in the controller and transmits a first notification to the processor when receiving the writing.
