Abstract: According to one general aspect, a system may include a non-volatile memory (NVM), a resource arbitration circuit, and a shared resource. The non-volatile memory may be configured to store data and manage the execution of a task. The non-volatile memory may include a network interface configured to receive data and the task, a NVM processor configured to determine if the processor will execute that task or if the task will be assigned to a shared resource within the system, and a local communication interface configured to communicate with at least one other device within the system. The resource arbitration circuit may be configured to receive a request to assign the task to the shared resource, and manage the execution of the task by the shared resource. The shared resource may be configured to execute the task.

Abstract: A system and method for providing erasure code protection across multiple storage devices. A data switch in a storage system connects a plurality of storage devices to a remote host. Each storage device is also connected to a controller, e.g., a baseboard management controller. During normal operation, read and write commands from the remote host are sent to respective storage devices through the data switch. When a write command is executed, the storage device executing the command sends a copy of the data to the controller, which generates and stores erasure codes, e.g., on a storage device that is dedicated to the storage of erasure codes, and invisible to the remote host. When a device fails or is removed, the controller reconfigures the data switch to redirect all traffic addressed to the failed or absent storage device to the controller, and the controller responds to host commands in its stead.

Abstract: A system and method for performing erasure code data protection and recovery computations using simple arithmetic and data manipulation functions. Other embodiments set forth techniques for using the computation functions with a multiplicity of compact one-dimension table lookup operations. A set of assigned multi-threaded processor threads perform computations on data values in parallel to generate erasure code data protection information and to perform data recovery operations using available data and the data protection information. During normal operations, in one embodiment, threads may perform parallel computations using a small set of simple arithmetic operations and data manipulation functions. In other embodiments, the threads may also use a multiplicity of compact one-dimension lookup tables stored within the multi-threaded processor or otherwise accessible by the multi-threaded processor to perform the computations.

Abstract: A data storage system includes: a host including a processor and a memory; and a remote storage device separate from the host and configured to communicate with the host via an external network. The remote storage device includes: a non-volatile memory device; and a controller configured to control the non-volatile memory device. The controller is configured to create K-metadata objects corresponding to each file stored on the memory device independently of the host, and the K-metadata objects store data describing attributes of the corresponding file stored on the memory device.

Abstract: A system and method for using a Solid State Drive (SSD) (505) are described. Reception circuitry (510) may receive write requests (1610, 1615, 1620, 1625) and invalidate requests (1630, 1635, 1640) from a first stream (305, 320, 335, 350). The write requests (1610, 1615, 1620, 1625) may request that data be written to storage (520) on the SSD (505); invalidate requests (1630, 1635, 1640) may invalidate data written to the storage (520). A statistics calculation logic (1705) may calculate statistics (1410, 1415, 1510) for the stream based on the write requests (1610, 1615, 1620, 1625) and the invalidate requests (1630, 1635, 1640). A performance logic (1710) may use the calculated statistics (1410, 1415, 1510) to improve the performance of the SSD (505).
