ATOMIC WRITE OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18591942 titled 'ATOMIC WRITE OPERATIONS
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for atomic write operations, where a host system receives a sequence of data containing two sets of data and transmits a write command to a memory system indicating the logical addresses for each set.
- Host system receives a sequence of data with two sets of data.
- Determines contiguous logical addresses for each set of data.
- Transmits a write command to a memory system indicating the logical addresses for both sets.
- The logical addresses for the two sets of data may be discontiguous.
Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - File systems - Database management
Problems Solved: - Efficient handling of atomic write operations - Simplified data management
Benefits: - Improved data integrity - Enhanced data storage efficiency - Streamlined data transfer processes
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Data Storage Systems for Improved Efficiency" This technology can be used in various industries such as cloud computing, data centers, and IoT devices to optimize data storage and management processes, leading to increased efficiency and reliability.
Questions about Atomic Write Operations: 1. How does this technology improve data integrity in storage systems?
- This technology ensures that data is written atomically to prevent data corruption or loss.
2. What are the potential implications of discontiguous logical addresses for data storage efficiency?
- Discontiguous logical addresses allow for more flexible data storage arrangements, potentially improving overall system performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for atomic write operations are described. A host system may receive a sequence of data that includes a first set of data and a second set of data. The host system may determine, based on the sequence of data, a first set of contiguous logical addresses for the first set of data and a second set of contiguous logical address for the second set of data. The host system may then transmit to a memory system a write command that indicates the first set of contiguous logical addresses and the second set of contiguous logical addresses. The first set of contiguous logical addresses may be discontiguous with the second set of contiguous logical addresses.
