  • System and method for peer-to-peer PCIe storage transfers
    Patent number: 9557922
    Abstract: Techniques for peer-to-peer Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) storage transfers are disclosed. In some embodiments, the techniques may be realized as a method for providing peer-to-peer storage transfers between PCIe devices including providing, in memory of a first PCIe device, a queue for data communicated between the first PCIe device and a target PCIe device, receiving, at the first PCIe device, queue memory allocation information transmitted from a host device communicatively coupled to the first PCIe device and the target PCIe device, and generating, using a computer processor of the first PCIe device, a storage command.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2017
    Assignee: HGST Netherlands B.V.
    Inventors: Colin Christopher McCambridge, Christopher William Barr, Adam Christopher Geml
