  • Apparatus and method for driving redundant array of independent disks (RAID) engine
    Patent number: 12210775
    Abstract: The invention is related to an apparatus and a method for driving redundant array of independent disks (RAID) engine. The method, performed by a RAID controller in a RAID pre-processor, including: completing a driving operation for performing a series of physical-layer signal interactions with a RAID engine according to a driving value in the configuration register. The driving value corresponds to a command issued by a processing unit. The processing unit performs an operation irrelevant from an encoding or a decoding of a parity of a page group in parallel of the driving operation by the RAID controller in coordination with the RAID engine.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and method for searching linked lists
    Patent number: 11308171
    Abstract: The invention introduces an apparatus for searching linked lists at least including: a memory arranged to operably store a linked list; a linked-list search engine arranged to operably search content of the linked list until a search success or fail and generate a search result; and a processing unit arranged to operably write the content of the linked list into the memory, drive the linked-list search engine to start a search on the linked list and obtain the search result from the linked-list search engine.
