  • Systems and methods for prefetching subsequent data segments in response to determining that requests for data originate from a sequential-access computing job
    Patent number: 9710386
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for prefetching subsequent data segments may include (1) identifying a storage system that receives sequential read requests from a sequential-access computing job and random-access read requests from a random-access computing job, (2) observing a plurality of requests to read a plurality of data segments stored by the storage system, (3) determining that the plurality of data segments are stored contiguously by the storage system and that the plurality of requests originate from the sequential-access computing job, and (4) prefetching a subsequent data segment that is directly subsequent to the plurality of data segments in response to determining that the plurality of requests originate from the sequential-access computing job. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
