An electronic device and resource sharing method

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides electronic equipment and a resource sharing method.The electronic equipment comprises an SSD and a mainframe which communicates with the SSD through an interface; the mainframe comprises a DRAM which is connected with the SSD, and the SSD shares spare resources of the DRAM; the SSD is used for sending a command carrying the resource demand, needing to be used, of the DRAM to the mainframe, receiving spare resource information, distributed by the mainframe according to the resource demand, of the DRAM and using corresponding spare resources of the DRAM according to the spare resource information; the mainframe is used for receiving the command, distributing the spare resource information corresponding to the resource demand from the DRAM according to the command and sending the the spare resource information to the SSD.According to the electronic equipment and the resource sharing method, the SSD can share the spare resources of the built-in DRAM in the mainframe, the DRAM does not need to be arranged in the SSD, the space utilization rate of the SSD is increased, and the power consumption of the SSD is reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage technology, in particular to an electronic device and a resource sharing method. Background technique [0002] SSD (Solid State Drives) is widely used in electronic devices such as notebook computers and tablet computers due to its fast read and write capabilities. The SSD is mainly composed of an SSD controller and a storage device. The storage devices built into the SSD are generally FLASH (flash memory) and DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). [0003] The inventor of the present invention found that as the proportion of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) occupied by effective components decreases year by year, it is particularly important to increase the space utilization rate of SSD. However, the DRAM provided in the SSD is the main space occupied by the SSD. And devices with higher power consumption, so how to solve the space occupation and power consumption problems caused by the DRAM provided in the SSD has beco...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device and a resource sharing method to solve the space occupation and power consumption problems caused by the DRAM installed in the SSD, so as to improve the space utilization rate of the SSD and reduce the power consumption of the SSD.
