  • Multiple LUN support for SATA devices
    Patent number: 7600059
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides for a device driver embodied in a computer readable medium. The device driver includes instructions operative to cause a programmable processor to receive a command and perform a determination as to whether the command is a drive command or a media changer command. The command is then conditionally modified, based on the determination and the command is forwarded.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2009
    Assignee: Quantum Corporation
    Inventors: Jim Wong, Osama Aweida, Don Matthews
  • Methods and apparatus for accelerating secure session processing
    Patent number: 7600122
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for an entity such as a CPU to efficiently call a cryptography accelerator to perform cryptographic operations. A function call causes the cryptography accelerator to execute multiple cryptographic operations in a manner tailored for specific processing steps, such as steps during a handshake phase of a secured session. The techniques provide efficient use of hardware processing resources, data interfaces, and memory interfaces.
