METHODS AND DEVICES FOR FILE READ LATENCY REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17504006 titled 'METHODS AND DEVICES FOR FILE READ LATENCY REDUCTION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes methods and devices for a storage device controller to receive a read command from an application at a host device. The controller retrieves a physical block address (PBA) list associated with file data from a table maintained at the controller using the file pointer. The controller then reads data from a memory using the PBA list and provides the file data to the application at the host device.
- The controller of a storage device receives a read command from an application at a host device.
- The read command includes a file pointer that identifies the desired file.
- The controller maintains a table that associates physical block addresses (PBAs) with file data.
- Using the file pointer, the controller retrieves the PBA list associated with the file data from the table.
- The controller reads the file data from a memory using the PBA list.
- The controller then provides the file data to the application at the host device.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various storage devices such as hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), or network-attached storage (NAS) systems.
- It can be used in computer systems, servers, or any device that requires efficient file data retrieval.
Problems Solved
- Efficient retrieval of file data from a storage device.
- Simplified and streamlined process for accessing file data using a file pointer.
- Reducing the time and resources required for reading file data from a storage device.
Benefits
- Improved performance and speed in accessing file data.
- Enhanced efficiency in retrieving file data from a storage device.
- Simplified and optimized file data retrieval process.
- Reduced resource utilization and improved overall system performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and devices are provided in which a controller of a storage device receives a read command including at least a file pointer of a file, from an application at a host device. The controller retrieves a physical block address (PBA) list associated with file data from a table maintained at the controller using the file pointer. The controller reads data from a memory using the PBA list, and provides the file data to the application at the host device.
