  • System and method for predicting and improving boot-up sequence
    Patent number: 9110677
    Abstract: A method for optimizing a boot up sequence includes, during a host idle time or during data transfer: obtaining a predicted read address from the a prediction table, prefetching from the non-volatile data store, and saving the prefetched data in memory. Also included is receiving a current read command issued by the host and if the read address matches the predicted read address, providing to the host the prefetched data saved in temporary memory, and indicating a match. If a match is not indicated, obtaining current data from the non-volatile data store corresponding to the read address of the current read command, and providing the current data to the host. If a match was not indicated, searching the data prediction table for the predicted read address that matches the read address corresponding to the current read command, and if found in the data prediction table, recording the offset value.
