Abstract

A computing device includes a processor and a non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM) connected to the processor. The NVDIMM includes a first memory having a first processing speed and a first storage capacity, a second memory having a second processing speed lower than the first processing speed and a second storage capacity larger than the first storage capacity, and a controller that evicts or fetches data between the first memory and the second memory. When the processor recognizes a first situation to evict data or a second situation to prefetch data, the processor transmits a command including first information of a logical address of data associated with the first situation or the second situation, second information of a length of the data associated with the first situation or the second situation, and third information indicating the first situation or the second situation to the NVDIMM.
