Ran Anner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System and method for efficient scalable software-defined NVMEoF front-end connectivity
    Patent number: 11748181
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for directing, by a computing device, an incoming Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) command to a kernel driver. The kernel driver may enqueue the incoming NVMe command until fetched by a user space. The NVMe command may be fetched from the kernel driver for processing. The NVMe command may be pushed to a user space block device of the user space.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for lockless aborting of input/output (IO) commands
    Patent number: 11669471
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving an input/output (IO) command for processing data within a storage system. An IO command-specific entry may be generated in a register based upon, at least in part, the IO command. An compare-and-swap operation may be performed on the IO command-specific entry to determine an IO command state associated with the IO command. The IO command may be processed based upon, at least in part, the IO command state associated with the IO command.

  • System and method for boosting up performance of NVMe-TCP transport
    Patent number: 11606437
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for using, by a computing device, free central processing unit (CPU) cycles for processing Non-Volatile Memory express Over Fiber (NVMeoF)/Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets. Using the free CPU cycles for processing the NVMeoF/TCP sockets may include exposing a character device with a callback that iterates over the NVMeoF/TCP sockets for processing.

  • System and method for suspending and processing commands on a configuration object
    Patent number: 11301263
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a plurality of input/output (IO) commands for a plurality of configuration objects of a storage system. A modification command for a configuration object of the plurality of configuration objects may be received. The configuration object may be suspended in response to receiving the modification command. One or more IO commands directed to the suspended configuration object from the plurality of IO commands may be processed before the configuration object is modified.
