STORAGE DEVICE, STORAGE CONTROLLER, AND OPERATING METHOD OF STORAGE CONTROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18392471 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE, STORAGE CONTROLLER, AND OPERATING METHOD OF STORAGE CONTROLLER

The abstract of the patent application describes a storage controller that includes various circuits to manage the queue depth and prioritize write and read commands based on surge information.

  • Queue monitoring circuit generates information about queue depth for each write and read command.
  • Surge detection circuit generates surge information based on the monitoring data.
  • Priority determination circuit generates information indicating the priority of write, read, or default based on surge information.
  • Priority reflection circuit adjusts the priority of write and read commands based on the priority determination information.

Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Cloud computing infrastructure - Network attached storage devices

Problems Solved: - Efficient management of command queues - Prioritization of write and read commands based on system load

Benefits: - Improved system performance - Reduced latency for critical commands - Enhanced overall data storage efficiency

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Storage Controller for Enhanced Data Management" This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as data centers, cloud storage providers, and enterprise storage solutions. It can help optimize data processing and improve overall system performance, leading to better user experience and operational efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the surge detection circuit determine surge information for write and read commands? 2. What are the key advantages of dynamically adjusting the priority of commands based on surge information?

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly exploring new ways to optimize storage controllers for better data management and performance. Stay updated on the latest advancements in queue management and command prioritization in storage systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A storage controller includes: (i) a queue monitoring circuit configured to generate monitoring information about a queue depth (QD) for each of a write command and a read command, (ii) a surge detection circuit configured to generate command-by-command surge information based on the monitoring information, (iii) a priority determination circuit configured to generate priority determination information indicating any one of the write command, the read command, and a default according to the command-by-command surge information, and (iv) a priority reflection circuit configured to variably set each of a priority of the write command and a priority of the read command according to the priority determination information.
