Memory Controller and Method for Improved Deduplication - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463604 titled 'Memory Controller and Method for Improved Deduplication
Simplified Explanation
Abstract
A memory controller is designed to receive incoming data and efficiently store or transmit it using a technique called deduplication. This controller uses a combination of strong hashes and sparse hashes to optimize the storage and retrieval of data. By determining a second hash based on the first hashes, the memory controller creates a sparse index that associates the second hash with the corresponding first hashes. The determination of the second hash is done using a probabilistic method that takes into account the probability of it corresponding to multiple first hashes.
Patent/Innovation Explanation
- Memory controller for efficient storage and transmission of incoming data
- Utilizes deduplication technique to eliminate redundant data
- Determines a second hash based on one or more first hashes
- Second hash is a sparse hash, while first hashes are strong hashes
- Populates a sparse index with the second hash, associating it with the corresponding first hashes
- Determination of the second hash is based on a probabilistic method
- Considers the probability of the second hash corresponding to multiple first hashes
Potential Applications
- Data storage systems
- Cloud computing platforms
- Content delivery networks
- Backup and recovery solutions
- Data deduplication software
Problems Solved
- Reduces storage requirements by eliminating duplicate data
- Improves data transmission efficiency by reducing the amount of data to be transmitted
- Enhances data retrieval speed by optimizing the indexing process
- Minimizes the impact of redundant data on system performance
Benefits
- Lower storage costs by reducing the amount of storage space required
- Faster data transmission and retrieval due to optimized indexing
- Improved system performance by minimizing redundant data
- Enhanced data deduplication capabilities for more efficient data management
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory controller is for receiving incoming data and storing and/or transmitting the incoming data utilizing deduplication. The memory controller determines a second hash corresponding to one or more first hashes. The second hash is a sparse hash and the first hashes are strong hashes. The memory controller populates a sparse index with the second hash. The sparse index associates the second hash with the corresponding first hashes. The memory controller determines the second hash based on a probability that the second hash corresponds to a plurality of first hashes using a probabilistic method.
