Abstract
An apparatus includes a co-processor that provides process operations for a first processor, such as a host processor, that executes one or more applications. The co-processor issues a data load request to a request command queue controlled by a non-volatile memory system, that loads a subset of prestored data from a prestored set of data, such as file data of an application, that is stored in a cache buffer in the non-volatile memory system or system memory, for an operation performed by the co-processor. The co-processor uses the loaded subset of prestored data for the operation. In certain implementations, the co-processor issues the data load request as a direct memory access (DMA) load request for the cache buffer. The prestored set of data includes a prestored set of data from a file storage system. Associated methods are also disclosed.
