    Abstract: A storage system includes a host and a storage device. The host includes a host processor and a host memory buffer, wherein the host processor includes a CPU core controlling operation of the host and a cache dedicated for use by the CPU core. The host memory buffer includes a submission queue and a completion queue. The storage device is connected to the host through a link and communicates with the host using a transaction layer packet (TLP). The storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device (NVM) and a storage controller, wherein the host writes a nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) command indicating a destination to the submission queue, and the storage controller reads data from the NVM, directly accesses the cache in response to destination information associated with the destination, and stores the read data in the cache.
