Abstract

A memory access technology and a computer system, where the computer system includes a memory controller, a media controller, and a non-volatile memory (NVM) coupled to the media controller. After receiving a first read command from the memory controller, the media controller may read first data from the NVM based on a first address in the first read command. Then the media controller transmit, to the memory controller, at least two fixed-length data subblocks and metadata of the at least two data subblocks in response to at least two first send commands received from the memory controller. The metadata includes a location identifier indicating an offset of a corresponding data subblock in the first data. Thus, the memory controller obtains the first data based on the at least two data subblocks and location identifiers in the metadata.
