SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A REDUNDANT ARRAY OF INDEPENDENT DISKS (RAID) USING A RAID CIRCUIT IN CACHE COHERENT INTERCONNECT STORAGE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885519 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A REDUNDANT ARRAY OF INDEPENDENT DISKS (RAID) USING A RAID CIRCUIT IN CACHE COHERENT INTERCONNECT STORAGE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a first storage device and a second storage device, both supporting a cache coherent interconnect protocol. A RAID circuit is used to communicate with the storage devices and applies a RAID level to them. The RAID circuit can receive requests using a byte level protocol and access data on the first storage device.

  • The system includes a first storage device and a second storage device that support a cache coherent interconnect protocol.
  • A RAID circuit is used to communicate with the storage devices and applies a RAID level to them.
  • The RAID circuit can receive requests using a byte level protocol.
  • The RAID circuit is configured to access data on the first storage device.

Potential Applications

  • Data storage systems that require cache coherence and RAID functionality.
  • High-performance computing systems that need efficient data access and redundancy.

Problems Solved

  • Providing cache coherence in a storage system with RAID functionality.
  • Efficiently accessing data on a storage device using a byte level protocol.

Benefits

  • Improved performance and efficiency in data storage systems.
  • Simplified data access and management in high-performance computing systems.
  • Enhanced reliability and redundancy through RAID functionality.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system is disclosed. A first storage device may supporting a cache coherent interconnect protocol, the cache coherent interconnect protocol including a block level protocol and a byte level protocol. A second storage device may also support the cache coherent interconnect protocol. A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) circuit may communicate with the first storage device and the second storage device. The RAID circuit may apply a RAID level to the first storage device and the second storage device. The RAID circuit may be configured to receive a request using the byte level protocol and to access data on the first storage device.
