==SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DISTRIBUTED PARITY CALCULATION OFFLOADING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18123238 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DISTRIBUTED PARITY CALCULATION OFFLOADING

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

The patent application describes a system and method for offloading distributed parity calculations from a server to a plurality of solid-state drives (SSDs) connected to a host. Each SSD has a processor that can access the host address space, calculate parity information for data stored across multiple buffers, and send the parity information back to the host.

* SSDs with processors for offloading parity calculations from a server
* Communication with a host via a host interface
* Calculating parity information for data stored across multiple buffers
* Sending parity information back to the host interface

'''Potential Applications''':
- Data storage systems
- Cloud computing infrastructure
- High-performance computing environments

'''Problems Solved''':
- Offloading parity calculations from a server to improve performance
- Distributing workload across multiple SSDs for efficient processing

'''Benefits''':
- Faster parity calculations
- Reduced strain on server resources
- Improved overall system performance

'''Commercial Applications''':
Title: "Efficient Parity Calculation Offloading System for Data Storage"
This technology could be used in data centers, cloud computing services, and high-performance computing environments to optimize data storage and processing capabilities. By offloading parity calculations to SSDs, companies can improve the efficiency and speed of their operations, leading to cost savings and enhanced performance.

'''Questions about the Technology''':
1. How does offloading parity calculations to SSDs benefit overall system performance?
- Offloading parity calculations to SSDs reduces the workload on the server, allowing for faster processing and improved efficiency.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of offloading distributed parity calculations to SSDs?
- One potential drawback could be increased complexity in managing the distributed calculations across multiple SSDs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system and a method for offloading distributed parity calculations from a server including a plurality of solid-state drives (SSDs) in communication with a host via a host interface. Each SSD includes a processor. The processor of each SSD may be configured to access a host address space via the host interface, determine parity information for data stored across a plurality of buffers in the host address space, and output the parity information to the host interface.
