  • Patent number: 11995340
    Abstract: A read-disturb-based read temperature information access system includes a read-disturb-based read temperature information management subsystem coupled to a plurality of storage devices that each include a read-disturb-based read temperature information Application Programming Interface (API). Each storage device generates and stores read-disturb-based read temperature information associated with that storage device, and when a read-disturb-based read temperature information command is received from the read-disturb-based read temperature information management subsystem that conforms to the read-disturb-based read temperature information API, the storage device receiving that read-disturb-based read temperature information command will execute it to perform at least one operation using the read-disturb-based read temperature information associated with and stored by that storage device.

  • Patent number: 11983431
    Abstract: A read-disturb-based read temperature time-based attenuation system includes a storage device that is coupled to a global read temperature identification subsystem. The storage device determines current read disturb information for data stored in a block in the storage device during a current time period, processes the current read disturb information and previous read disturb information that was determined during at least one previous time period that was prior to the current time period in order to generate a read temperature for the data stored in the block, generates a local logical storage element read temperature map that includes the read temperature, and provides the local logical storage element map to the global read temperature identification subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20240134550
    Abstract: A zoned namespace storage device system includes a zoned namespace storage device coupled to a computing device. The zoned namespace storage device includes a zoned namespace storage subsystem that is configured to store data, and storage device compute hardware that is coupled to the zoned namespace storage subsystem and that is configured to provide a storage device operating system that includes a storage device management microservice. The storage device management microservice presents a non-zone storage service to a host subsystem in the computing device and receives, via the non-zone storage service presented to the host subsystem, a storage command from the host subsystem that is associated with a storage operation. The storage device management microservice then utilizes a zone storage service presented to the storage device management microservice by the zoned namespace storage subsystem to perform the storage operation on the zoned namespace storage subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20240134561
    Abstract: A reconfigurable microservice storage device system includes a computing device coupled to a plurality of storage devices that each include storage device compute hardware coupled to a storage subsystem that is configured to store data. The computing device configures the storage device compute hardware in each of a first subset of the plurality of storage devices to provide a respective first storage device operating system that includes a respective first storage device management microservice that manages the storage subsystem in that storage device. The computing device also configures the storage device compute hardware in each of a second subset of the plurality of storage devices to provide a respective second storage device operating system that includes a respective second storage device management microservice that manages the storage subsystem in that storage device, and at least one respective second compute microservice that performs at least one second compute operation.

  • Publication number: 20240134543
    Abstract: A microservice storage device system includes a computing device. A storage device is coupled to the computing device and includes storage device compute hardware coupled to a storage subsystem that is configured to store data. The storage device uses the storage device compute hardware to provide a storage device operating system. The storage device then uses the storage device operating system to provide a storage device management microservice that it uses to manage the storage subsystem. The storage device also uses the storage device operating system to provide at least one compute microservice that it uses to perform at least one compute operation. The storage device management microservice and the at least one compute microservice may each be provided in a respective container generated by the storage device operating system for each of the storage device management microservice and the at least one compute microservice.

  • Patent number: 7036118
    Abstract: A system for executing computer programs on a target platform having a limited amount of memory. Directives are suitably placed in the computer program source code at natural boundaries. The system uses the directives to extract structural information from the computer program and to produce a description of all program objects; to estimate typical object usage; and, to trigger transparent object paging to and from the limited platform memory during execution of the computer program. The system makes paging decisions prior to runtime by using relevant factors such as the typical usage of program objects and the size of each program object.
