Partial Execution of a Write Command from a Host System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482675 titled 'Partial Execution of a Write Command from a Host System

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a memory sub-system that can optimize performance by partially executing write commands from a host system.

  • The memory sub-system receives a write command from the host system.
  • Based on the physical layout of the media, the memory sub-system identifies a preferred input/output size for executing the write command.
  • The memory sub-system executes the write command according to the preferred input/output size.
  • It configures a response for the write command to identify the second input/output size.
  • The response, which identifies the second input/output size, is transmitted back to the host system.
  • The host system generates a subsequent write command to write at least the data that was initially identified in the write command but not included in the execution according to the preferred input/output size.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data storage systems: This technology can be applied in storage devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs) to optimize write performance and enhance overall system efficiency.
  • Database management: The memory sub-system can be utilized in database systems to improve write operations and reduce latency, resulting in faster data processing and improved performance.
  • Cloud computing: Implementing this technology in cloud infrastructure can enhance the efficiency of data storage and retrieval, leading to improved performance and reduced costs.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Write performance optimization: By identifying a preferred input/output size and executing write commands accordingly, this technology improves the efficiency and speed of write operations, addressing the problem of slow write performance.
  • Data fragmentation: The memory sub-system ensures that data is written in a more organized manner, reducing data fragmentation and improving overall system performance.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced performance: By optimizing write operations, this technology improves the overall performance of memory sub-systems, resulting in faster data processing and reduced latency.
  • Improved efficiency: The partial execution of write commands and the identification of preferred input/output sizes help to maximize the utilization of resources, leading to improved efficiency and reduced resource wastage.
  • Reduced data fragmentation: By organizing data more efficiently, this technology reduces data fragmentation, which can improve system performance and extend the lifespan of storage devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A memory sub-system configured to partially execute write commands from a host system to optimize performance. After receiving a write command from a host system, the memory sub-system can identify, based on a media physical layout, a preferred input/output size for the execution of the write command. The memory sub-system can execute the write command according to the preferred input/output size, configure a response for the write command to identify the second input/output size, and transmit the response identifying the second input/output size to the host system. The host system is configured to generate a subsequent write command to write at least the data that is initially identified in the write command that has been executed but not been included in the execution of the write command performed according to the preferred input/output size.
