Abstract
Described herein are a method and device for transferring data in a computer system. The device includes a host processor, a plurality of first memory architectures, a switch, a redundant array of independent drives (RAID) assist unit; and a second memory architecture. The host processor is configured to send a data transfer command to the RAID assist unit via the switch. The RAID assist unit is configured to create a set of parallel memory transactions between the plurality of first memory architectures and the second memory architecture, execute the set of parallel memory transactions via the local switch and absent interaction with the host processor; and notify the host processor upon completion of data transfer. In an implementation, the plurality of first memory architectures is non-volatile memories (NVMs) and the second memory architecture is local memory.
