METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGAM PRODUCT FOR ASYNCHRONOUSLY ACCESSING DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103766 titled 'METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGAM PRODUCT FOR ASYNCHRONOUSLY ACCESSING DATA
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method, electronic device, and computer program product for asynchronously accessing data by moving data in a persistent memory based on user instructions and metadata, using a programmable network device, and informing the user upon completion of the operation.
- Method for asynchronously accessing data:
- Determine data and metadata to be moved in a persistent memory - Send metadata to a programmable network device for data movement - Inform the user upon completion of the data movement operation
- Benefits of the technology:
- Enhanced user experience - Saving computing resources of a central processing unit (CPU)
- Potential applications of this technology:
- Data storage systems - Cloud computing platforms - Network infrastructure management
- Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient data access and movement - Reduced CPU workload - Improved user notification system
- Potential commercial applications of this technology:
- Data management software - Cloud service providers - Networking equipment manufacturers
- Possible prior art:
- Prior methods of data access and movement in persistent memory - Existing network devices for data transfer
- Unanswered Questions
- How does this technology impact data security?
This article does not address the specific security measures implemented to protect the data being moved asynchronously. It would be important to understand how sensitive information is safeguarded during the data transfer process.
- What are the scalability limitations of this technology?
The scalability of the system in terms of handling large volumes of data or multiple concurrent data transfer operations is not discussed in the article. Understanding the potential limitations in scalability is crucial for real-world applications of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for asynchronously accessing data. the method may include determining, on the basis of an instruction of a user, data to be moved in a persistent memory and metadata associated with the data. the method may further include sending the metadata to a programmable network device associated with the persistent memory such that the programmable network device moves the data on the basis of the metadata. in addition, the method may include informing, in response to receiving a confirmation of operation completion from the programmable network device, the user that the operation of moving the data has been completed. the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve an operation of asynchronously accessing data. furthermore, computing resources of a central processing unit (cpu) are saved, so that the user experience is enhanced.
