MEMORY CONTROLLER AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

Provided herein may be a memory controller and a method of operating the same. The memory controller for controlling a plurality of memory devices in which data is stored may include a host interface configured to receive a request and a logical address corresponding to the request from a host, a processor including multiple cores, each configured to receive the logical address from the host interface and generate mapping information indicating a mapping relationship between the logical address and a physical address and a bitmap storage configured to store a bitmap indicating which core of the multiple cores each of previously-received logical addresses is assigned, wherein the host interface assigns the logical address to one of the multiple cores based on the bitmap.
