Abstract

According to an embodiment, when receiving a read request designating a logical address range of a particular size or more from a host, a first circuit issues a plurality of first sub-commands, each of which is a sub-command for each first data unit, in order of logical addresses. A second circuit respectively adds serial numbers corresponding to the plurality of first sub-commands in the order of issuance. A plurality of third circuits respectively executes processing of specifying locations of the first data unit based on management information for the plurality of first sub-commands in a distributed manner. A fifth circuit reorders the plurality of first sub-commands in the logical address order based on the serial numbers after the processing by the plurality of third circuits. A sixth circuit executes a read operation on a first memory based on the plurality of first sub-commands reordered in the order of logical addresses.
