A computing system (100) having a storage system that includes a storage device (130) and a host device (105), where the host device (105) is configured to issue memory access commands to the storage device (130). The computing system (100) further includes a prediction system (190) comprising processing circuitry that is configured to perform operations that cause the prediction system (190) to identify one or more components of the storage system (918) that limit random rad performance of the storage system (918). The operations further cause the prediction system (190) to obtain characterization data that is indicative of the impact of the one or more components on random read performance and generate a model based on the characterization data to predict random read performance of the storage system (918). The operations additionally cause the prediction system (190) to execute the model in a simulation of the storage system (918) to generate a random read performance parameter for the storage system (918).

Modeling foreign functions using executable references

Techniques for representing a native function using an executable reference are disclosed. The system receives an instruction to create an executable reference for a native function, including a method type comprising a method signature corresponding to the executable reference, and a function description including (a) a memory layout corresponding to data returned by the function and (b) memory layouts corresponding to parameters required by the function. The system selects an application binary interface (ABI). The system generates code that, for each parameter, of the one or more parameters required by the function, converts the parameter from a value formatted for use by a Java Virtual machine to a value formatted for use in the native function, based on the selected ABI. Responsive to invocation of the executable reference, the generated code and the native function may be executed.

Storage device and method for accelerating storage device write and read speed

A storage device that includes a nonvolatile memory device is described. The storage device includes areas and a controller. The controller receives a write command and data from an external host device. The controller then preferentially writes the data in an area associated with a turbo write based on a turbo write policy, or in an area not associated with a turbo write based on a normal write policy. The controller also receives a move command from the external host device and moves data stored in the area to a different area based on the move command.

Storage device for accelerating write speed and read speed

A storage device including a nonvolatile memory device is described. The storage device includes a controller that receives a write command and data from an external host device. The controller preferentially writes the data in an area based on a normal write policy when the data is associated with a normal write, and in an area based on a turbo write policy when the data is associated with a turbo write. The controller may also receive a read command, to read data from an area based on the read command, and output the data to the external host device. The controller may also move the data in response to move information of the read command when the read command is received together with move information.

Storage device that determines write area of read reclaim operation based on estimated read count of reclaim area and operating method of the storage device

A storage device includes a nonvolatile memory device that includes a first storage area and a second storage area. A controller of the storage device controls the nonvolatile memory device and performs a read reclaim operation of reading data stored in the first storage area of the nonvolatile memory device and writing the read data in the second storage area. In the read reclaim operation, the controller is further configured to allow the nonvolatile memory device to perform sample read operations on the first storage area and to determine locations of the second storage area, at which the data are to be written, based on results of the sample read operations.
