Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus related to shared work queue interfaces for memory systems. In one approach, an NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) includes NAND flash memory. A controller of a host system writes NVMe commands to the SSD using a PCIe transaction layer packet. The host system can selectively configure a shared work queue interface of the SSD. A host / processor sends a get feature command to determine whether an SWQ interface is supported by the SSD. If the SSD supports the SWQ interface, then the SSD provides a response that identifies the resources provided by an NVMe controller in the SSD for use of the SWQ feature. The host / processor can send a command to enable / disable the SWQ feature using a set feature command. A queue pair can also be used whether the SWQ feature is enabled or disabled.
