Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods by which a storage device may process and return I/O commands to a host in the order in which the host provided the commands, thereby reducing host overhead, including but not limited to the following: receiving a first I/O command and a second I/O command, the first I/O command and the second I/O command being assigned a sequence tag, issuing the first I/O command and the second I/O command to one or more storage channels based on their respective sequence tags, collecting a command completion notice of the first I/O command or the second I/O command when the first I/O command or the second I/O command has been respectively completed; and issuing a command completion notification to a host based on the sequence tag of the associated completed first I/O command or the second I/O command.

Abstract: A Key-Value storage device is disclosed. The Key-Value storage device may include a first storage for data that is persistent. The Key-Value storage device 125) may also include a second storage for a main index structure to map a key to a location in the first storage. A controller may process a read request, a write request, or a delete request from a host using the first storage. A third storage may store a secondary index structure that stores the key, the secondary index structure being sorted.

Abstract: Various aspects include an interactive continuous in-device KV transaction processing system and method. The system includes a host device and a KV-SSD. The KV-SSD includes a command handler module to receive and process command packets from the host device, to identify KV input/output (I/O) requests associated with a KV transaction, and to prepare a per-transaction index structure. The method includes receiving a command packet from a host device, and determining, by the command handler module, whether a transaction tag associated with the KV transaction is embedded in the command packet. Based on determining that the transaction tag is not embedded in the command packet, the method includes processing one or more KV I/O requests using a main KV index structure. Based on determining that the transaction tag is embedded in the command packet, the method includes individually processing the one or more KV I/O requests using a per-transaction index structure.
