Abstract
A method and apparatus for allocation of back-end (BE) logic resources between NVM sets. When a controller detects that an NVM set is in an idle state, it deallocates the BE logic from the originally assigned NVM set and provides the BE logic resource to another NVM set. An NVM set controller matrix maps interconnections between the BE logic resource and the new NVM set to enable use of the BE logic resource and the new NVM set. When a new command arrives for the originally assigned NVM set, the BE logic resources is re-allocated to the originally assigned NVM set.
