DATA MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, DATA MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND DATA STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959861 titled 'DATA MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, DATA MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND DATA STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a data management apparatus that allows for direct migration of data between storage media with different transmission performance. This eliminates the need for the CPU to perform processing tasks such as instruction conversion and protocol conversion, reducing delays and resource overheads.

  • The data management apparatus manages data transmission channels between different types of storage media.
  • A data migration unit is included to migrate data between the different storage media through the managed data transmission channels.
  • The apparatus enables direct migration of data between storage media with different transmission performance, without requiring CPU processing.
  • This reduces delays in data migration and shortens the time taken for processing tasks by the CPU.
  • The CPU is relieved from performing data migration, resulting in reduced resource overheads.

Potential Applications

  • Data centers and cloud computing environments where data migration between storage media is common.
  • High-performance computing systems that require efficient data management between different types of storage media.
  • Any system or application that involves the transfer of data between storage devices with varying transmission performance.

Problems Solved

  • Eliminates the need for CPU processing tasks such as instruction conversion and protocol conversion during data migration.
  • Reduces delays in data migration by directly transferring data between storage media.
  • Minimizes resource overheads on the CPU by offloading data migration tasks.

Benefits

  • Shortened processing time by eliminating the need for CPU involvement in data migration.
  • Improved efficiency in data management between storage media with different transmission performance.
  • Reduced resource overheads on the CPU, allowing it to focus on other critical tasks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A data management apparatus, a data management method, and a data storage device are provided. The data management apparatus includes a management unit and a data migration unit. The management unit manages data transmission channels between two types of storage media with different transmission performance. Then, the data migration unit migrates data between the two types of storage media through the managed data transmission channels. In this way, the data management apparatus can directly migrate data between storage media with different transmission performance, and a CPU in a system does not need to perform processing such as instruction conversion and protocol conversion, so that a delay of performing the foregoing processing by the CPU can be shortened. In addition, because the CPU does not need to perform data migration, resource overheads of the CPU can be reduced.
