I/O Request Processing Method, Apparatus, and System, Device, and Storage Medium - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240201881 titled 'I/O Request Processing Method, Apparatus, and System, Device, and Storage Medium

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for processing input/output requests, involving receiving a target I/O request with a destination address and a target logical block address, determining a storage node based on a correspondence between logical block addresses and storage nodes, modifying the destination address if necessary, and sending the modified request.

  • Simplified Explanation:

The method outlined in the patent application involves processing input/output requests by determining the appropriate storage node for a given logical block address and modifying the destination address accordingly.

  • Key Features and Innovation:

- Receiving target I/O requests with destination and logical block addresses - Determining storage nodes based on logical block addresses - Modifying destination addresses if needed - Sending modified I/O requests

  • Potential Applications:

- Data storage systems - Cloud computing - Networked storage environments

  • Problems Solved:

- Efficient routing of I/O requests - Optimizing data storage and retrieval processes

  • Benefits:

- Improved data access speeds - Enhanced storage node utilization - Streamlined I/O request processing

  • Commercial Applications:

- Data centers - Cloud service providers - Storage solution vendors

  • Prior Art:

Further research can be conducted in the field of data storage and I/O request processing to identify any relevant prior art.

  • Frequently Updated Research:

Stay informed about advancements in data storage technologies and I/O request processing methods to ensure the most up-to-date information.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method determine the storage node for a given logical block address? 2. What are the potential implications of modifying destination addresses in I/O requests?


Original Abstract Submitted

an input/output (i/o) request processing method includes: receiving a target i/o request, where the target i/o request carries a destination address and a target logical block address, and the destination address is a node address of a first storage node; determining, based on a preset correspondence between a logical block address and a storage node, a second storage node corresponding to the target logical block address; if the second storage node is inconsistent with the first storage node, modifying the destination address in the target i/o request to a node address of the second storage node, to obtain a target i/o request having a modified destination address; and sending the target i/o request having the modified destination address.
