Abstract
A non-volatile memory system performs data operations efficiently for a host system by having a multi-layered architecture. The system includes multiple local controllers that are connected to an array of non-volatile memories, a master controller connected to the multiple local controllers, and an internal processing unit that communicates with the master controller. The internal processing unit receives data operation requests from the host system and generates groups of related operations. A group of related operations include a set of common addresses and multiple commands. The internal processing unit sends a group of related operations to the master controller, which in turn broadcasts the group of related operations to the local controllers, by first broadcasting addresses to the local controllers, broadcasting a first command to the local controllers, and then broadcasts a second command to the local controllers while the local controllers are still executing the first command.
