Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein include a storage system including a plurality of storage devices, wherein each of the plurality of storage devices includes compute resources, memory resources, and a storage device controller configured to perform application-specific data management operations using the compute resources and the memory resources of the storage device, and a storage system controller configured to distribute a workload across the plurality of storage devices based on a capability of each of the plurality of storage devices during an IDLE state. The capability of each of the plurality of storage devices may be specifications, current availability, and performance history of each of the plurality of storage devices. In some implementations, each of the plurality of storage devices communicate with each other via a peer-to-peer networking communications protocol (e.g., NVme, NVMof, PCIe, Ethernet, etc.).

Abstract: A system and method for reducing overall connection latencies in a SAS expander is disclosed. The SAS expander includes a plurality of ports and a route lookup table configured for providing a central resource for routing information for the ports. The SAS expander also includes a plurality of connection history caches (CHCs) associated with the ports, each CHC is configured for storing at least one successfully established connection record. Upon receiving a connection request at a particular port, that particular port may determine whether a matching connection record for the connection request is stored in its corresponding CHC. If the matching connection record is stored in its corresponding CHC, a connection may be established in response to the connection request based on the matching connection record. However, if no matching connection record is found in its corresponding CHC, the connection may be established utilizing the route lookup table.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing system based on a multithreaded operating system. The data processing system comprises at least one processor (PROC) for processing data based on multiple threads, at least one controller unit (CU) for controlling the communication between said at least one processor (PROC) and an external peripheral device (PD) connected to said at least one controller unit (CU). Said at least one controller unit (CU) comprises at least one buffer memory (BM) for buffering data from said peripheral device (PD) connected to said at least one controller unit (CU), and at least one memory managing unit (MMU) for managing the access to said at least one buffer memory (BM) by mapping said at least one buffer memory (BM) into N banks (C0-C3) each with a dedicated prefetch register (Addr.0-Addr.3). At least one of said multiple threads (T0-T3) is mapped to one of said N banks (C0-C3) and its dedicated prefetch register (Addr.0-Addr.3).
