  • Bridge between two different controllers for transferring data between host and storage device
    Patent number: 9471526
    Abstract: A system including a controller and a bridge module. The controller is configured to (i) communicate with a host via a first interface, and (ii) communicate with a storage device via a second interface. The second interface is separate from the first interface. The bridge module is configured to allow the controller to transfer data between the storage device and the host without buffering the data, and to access a memory of the host via the first interface during the transfer.

  • Method and apparatus for effectively increasing a command queue length for accessing storage
    Patent number: 8918554
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to effectively increasing a command queue length for accessing storage, such as by increasing the Queuing Depth (Q-Depth) of Native Command Queuing (NCQ) Commands. In some implementations, a method can comprise receiving a first command to access a first memory location of a storage device; receiving a second command to access a second memory location of a storage device; constructing a consolidated command including a memory address and a data transfer count associated with each of the first command and the second command; constructing an information command having consolidation information about the consolidated command; and communicating the information command and the consolidated command to the storage device for processing by the storage device.
