Abstract
A storage controller for controlling a nonvolatile memory device is disclosed. The storage controller includes a buffer memory and a processor. The processor is configured to provide a plurality of physical functions having equivalent authorities to a host, and to allocate, in response to a resource allocation request received from the host via an arbitrary physical function among the plurality of physical functions, a namespace provided by the nonvolatile memory device and a buffer region included in the buffer memory to one or more target physical functions among the plurality of physical functions.
