Abstract

A control method for a non-volatile memory in a computer system is provided. The computer system includes a central processing unit; a system memory; a first memory controller; and a storage device including a non-volatile memory and a second memory controller for controlling access to the non-volatile memory. The method includes the steps of: utilizing the first memory controller to divide the system memory into a first data pool and a second data pool, wherein the first data pool stores temporary data for accessing the storage device by the central processing unit, and the second data pool stores flash translation layer data for use by the second memory controller; and when the central processing unit is to access the storage device, utilizing the second memory controller to access the non-volatile memory according to the flash translation layer data from the second data pool.
