DATA STREAM IDENTIFICATION AND PROCESSING IN DATA STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18468610 titled 'DATA STREAM IDENTIFICATION AND PROCESSING IN DATA STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a computer system that includes a host, a data storage device, and a host interface. The data storage device has a controller, non-volatile storage media, and firmware that controls the operations of the controller. The host sends commands to the storage device to read or write data items from/to the non-volatile storage media. The storage device examines a subset of the commands to determine if the data items are addressed sequentially and optimizes the processing of at least a portion of the command sequence based on this determination.

  • The patent/application is related to a computer system with a data storage device and a host interface.
  • The data storage device includes a controller, non-volatile storage media, and firmware.
  • The firmware configures the operations of the controller.
  • The host sends commands to the storage device to read or write data items.
  • The storage device examines a subset of the commands to determine if the data items are addressed sequentially.
  • The storage device optimizes the processing of at least a portion of the command sequence based on this determination.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data storage systems in computer servers and data centers.
  • Solid-state drives (SSDs) and other non-volatile storage devices.
  • Embedded systems with data storage capabilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and performance in data storage operations.
  • Optimized processing of command sequences.
  • Reduction of unnecessary data transfers.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster data storage operations.
  • Reduced latency in accessing data.
  • Improved overall system performance.
  • Enhanced lifespan of non-volatile storage media.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer system having a host in communication with a data storage device is coupled to the host via a peripheral bus and a host interface. The data storage device has a controller, non-volatile storage media; and firmware containing instructions configures the operations of the controller. The host transmits a sequence of commands to the storage device to read data items from, or write data items to, the non-volatile storage media. The storage device examines a subset of the commands to determine whether or not data items identified in the subset are addressed sequentially and optimizes processing of at least a portion of the sequence of commands based on a result of a determination of whether or not data items identified in the subset are addressed sequentially.
