Data Storage Device and Method for Multi-Level Conditional Prediction of Future Random Read Commands - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17846335 titled 'Data Storage Device and Method for Multi-Level Conditional Prediction of Future Random Read Commands

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a data storage device and method for predicting future random read commands.

  • The device includes a memory and a controller.
  • The controller receives a random read command from a host, which is associated with a stream.
  • It predicts the next stream to be received from the host.
  • It also predicts the next random read command based on the received command and the predicted next stream.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improving the performance and efficiency of data storage devices.
  • Enhancing the user experience by reducing latency in accessing data.
  • Optimizing data retrieval in various industries such as cloud computing, database management, and data centers.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Random read commands can be unpredictable, leading to inefficiencies in data storage systems.
  • Traditional methods may not effectively anticipate the next stream and command, resulting in slower data access.
  • This technology addresses these issues by using multi-level conditional prediction to improve the accuracy of future command predictions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster data access and retrieval, leading to improved overall system performance.
  • Enhanced user experience with reduced latency in accessing data.
  • Increased efficiency and productivity in data-intensive industries.
  • Potential cost savings by optimizing data storage and retrieval processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

A data storage device and method for multi-level conditional prediction of future random read commands are provided. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a random read command from a host, wherein the received random read command is associated with a stream; predict a next stream to be received from the host; and predict a next random read command to be received from the host based on the received random read command and the predicted next stream. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
