  • Publication number: 20150242482
    Abstract: For efficiently storing and retrieving data and metadata in phases, in a first phase, metadata tokens, which are assigned to metadata-emitting entities, are used for storing the data and the metadata together in a single input/output operation while piggybacking the metadata of least active metadata-emitting entities onto one of the metadata-emitting entities having one of the metadata tokens. In a second phase, the metadata is re-written to a metadata delta journal for reclaiming the metadata tokens. In a third phase, the metadata journal is applied to a metadata structure containing the metadata of the storage system, the metadata delta journal is then cleared after successfully updating the main metadata structure with the metadata of the metadata journal. The metadata journal is swapped with an empty metadata journal for concurrently adding metadata while retaining the metadata journal until applying the metadata delta journal to the metadata structure.

  • Publication number: 20150227468
    Abstract: For combining virtual mapping metadata and physical space mapping metadata in a storage system by a processor device in a computing environment, data and metadata are maintained into separate virtual streams. The separate virtual streams include a metadata stream for the metadata and a data stream for the data. Information of a mapping of logical data to a location on the data stream and a current state of unused spaces in the data stream is linearly distributed within the metadata stream.

  • Patent number: 9043341
    Abstract: For efficiently storing and retrieving data and metadata in phases, in a first phase, metadata tokens, which are assigned to most active metadata-emitting entities, are used for storing the data and the metadata together in a single input/output operation while piggybacking the metadata of least active metadata-emitting entities onto one of the most active metadata-emitting entities having one of the metadata tokens. In a second phase, the metadata is re-written to a metadata delta journal for reclaiming the metadata tokens. In a third phase, the metadata journal is applied to a metadata structure containing the metadata of the storage system, the metadata delta journal is then cleared after successfully updating the main metadata structure with the metadata of the metadata journal. The metadata journal is swapped with an empty metadata journal for concurrently adding metadata while retaining the metadata journal until applying the metadata delta journal to the metadata structure.

  • Publication number: 20140188823
    Abstract: A data chunk is compressed into a storage block when emitting the data chunk. If the data chunk is unable to be completely compressed into the storage block, attributes of the data chunk are analyzed for determining whether the data chunk should be split. If the data chunk should be split, a remaining portion of the data chunk is compressed to a next chronological storage block. If the data chunk should not be split, all of the data chunk is moved to the next chronological storage block while leaving any remaining space in the storage block as unused.

  • Patent number: 8759830
    Abstract: An electronic device (100) is presented, being configured for example as a vertical field effect transistor. The device comprises an electrically-conductive perforated patterned structure (102) which is enclosed between a dielectric layer (105) and an active element (106) of the electronic device (100). The electrically-conductive perforated patterned structure (102) comprises a geometrical pattern defining an array of spaced-apart perforation regions (108) surrounded by continuous electrically conductive regions (110). The pattern is such as to allow the active element (106) of the electronic device (100) to be in direct contact with said dielectric layer (105) aligned with the perforation regions (108). A material composition of the device (100) and features of said geometrical pattern are selected to provide a desired electrical conductance of the electrically-conductive perforated patterned structure (102) and a desired profile of a charge carriers' injection barrier along said structure (102).
