METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17993263 Titled 'METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING DATA'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for processing data more efficiently. When a request is made to access a specific block of data, the system checks if the block is in use. If it is, the system retrieves information about the arrangement of blocks on the storage devices. Based on this information, the system determines the specific block that contains the requested data. This allows for faster processing of the request, saving time and improving the user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for processing data involve receiving an access request for a logical block used for storing data, the access request including a logical block address for the logical block. Such techniques further involve determining, if it is determined that the logical block address is in a used address space, an index entry corresponding to the logical block address from index entries, the index entry indicating arrangements of logical blocks on a corresponding pool stripe, wherein the pool stripe includes disk blocks from disks in a disk pool, and data blocks form at least one data stripe for a disk array. Such techniques further involve determining a target block corresponding to the logical block based on the index entry. Such techniques further involve processing the access request by using the target block. Accordingly, the processing speed of sequential I/O operations is improved, time is saved, and user experience is improved.
