Abstract: A method for searching a buffer of a non-volatile storage host controller is provided. The method includes obtaining a command-based identifier of a command when a system level setting of a first format is enabled; and checking a format information on whether the first format or a second format is used to execute the command according to the identifier. A system for searching a buffer of a non-volatile storage host controller is provided. A host of the system searches a buffer by using the command-based identifier when a system level setting of a first format is enabled and check format information on whether the first format or a second format is used to execute the command according to the identifier.

Abstract: A host system is coupled to a storage device and manages completion queues (CQs) for the storage device. The host system includes a host controller and memory that stores submission queues (SQs) and the CQs. The host controller fetches a command from a given SQ that corresponds to a target CQ. The host controller saves the command in an SQ internal buffer of the host controller, calculates an available capacity (AC) associated with the given SQ for the host system to store a response to the command from the storage device, and sends the command to the storage device when the available capacity is non-zero. The available capacity is calculated based on, at least in part, available slots in the target CQ.

Abstract: A controller integrated circuit (IC) and a method for controlling a storage device for a host device to enhance overall performance are provided. The host device may include the controller IC, where the storage device is positioned outside the host device. The controller IC may include a plurality of first queues, a first queue notification register and a first queue auxiliary notification register, where each first queue of the first queues is arranged to queue first queue entries for being used to interact with the storage device. The first queue notification register may store first queue notification information for indicating whether any first queue of the plurality of first queues sends any first interrupt. The first queue auxiliary notification register may store first queue auxiliary notification information for indicating which first queue of the plurality of first queues is the any first queue that has sent the any first interrupt.
