A network storage volume stores first entries in a first-mode storage bucket and a second entries in a second-mode storage bucket. The first-mode storage bucket has first bucket metadata, and the second-mode storage bucket has second bucket metadata. A computer-implemented method includes comparing a utilized capacity of the network storage volume to a target capacity information of the network storage volume to obtain a comparison result. Based on the comparison result, at least one bucket is selected to be purged from the buckets of the network storage volume based at least in part on bucket metadata of the buckets. The method further includes causing a purge of the at least one selected bucket from the network storage volume.

Example implementations described herein involve systems and methods which automatically determine volumes to be replicated for disaster recovery based on the execution priority of an application which uses the volumes. Such example implementations can involve systems and methods involving creating a volume in a first storage system for each of one or more containers newly launched on one or more servers managing a container orchestrator; and establishing replication of the volume for the each of the newly launched one or more containers to a second storage system in order from highest container priority to lowest container priority.

Distributed storage nodes having specialized hardware can be pooled for servicing data requests. For example, a distributed storage system can include a group of storage nodes. The distributed storage system can determine a subset of storage nodes that include the specialized hardware based on status information received from the group of storage nodes. The specialized hardware can be preconfigured with specialized functionality. The distributed storage system can then generate a node pool that includes the subset of storage nodes with the specialized hardware. The node pool can be configured to perform the specialized functionality in relation to a data request.

An apparatus includes an output bus configured to store data, a match table, one or more storage devices, and logic. The match table is configured to store a plurality of entries, each entry including a key value, wherein the match table specifies a matching entry in response to being queried by the query data. The one or more storage devices are configured to store operation information for each of the plurality of entries stored in the match table. The operation information specifies one or more instructions associated with each respective entry in the plurality of entries stored in the match table. The logic is configured to receive one or more operands from the output bus, identify one or more instructions from the one or more storage devices, and generate, based on the one or more instructions and the one or more operands, processed data.

This disclosure provides a data query method and apparatus. The method includes: dividing an object storage system into a plurality of storage spaces based on time slices, establishing a mapping relationship between the storage spaces, the time slices, and operation records, recording time slice information corresponding to a snapshot after generating the snapshot, and implementing services such as a read-only service, a snapshot rollback service, and an object change service based on the snapshot, so as to improve query performance without adding extra storage overheads.

In an NVMe-based storage system, a host is connected to an NVMe controller through a PCIe bus, and the NVMe controller is connected to a storage medium. The NVMe controller receives from the host a data packet that carries payload data and an association identifier. The association identifier associates the payload data with a write instruction. The NVMe controller obtains the write instruction according to the association identifier, and then writes the payload data into the storage medium according to the write instruction.

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory array with a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell is a multilevel cell to which multibit data can be written. The non-volatile memory array includes a first storage region in which the multibit data of a first bit level is written and a second storage region in which data of a second bit level less than the first bit level is written. A memory controller is configured to move pieces of data from the first storage region to the second storage region based on the number of data read requests for the pieces of data received over a period of time or on external information received from a host device that sends read requests.

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing processing, memory, storage, network, and cloud computing to significantly improve the efficiency and performance of processing nodes. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention are directed to an instruction set of an object memory fabric. This object memory fabric instruction set can include trigger instructions defined in metadata for a particular memory object. Each trigger instruction can comprise a single instruction and action based on reference to a specific object to initiate or perform defined actions such as pre-fetching other objects or executing a trigger program.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system and an operating method of the memory system. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a memory system may divide and manage the plurality of memory dies into a plurality of memory die groups, may set a first super memory block including at least one of memory blocks included in a first memory die group, and a second super memory block including at least one of memory blocks included in a second memory die group, may determine whether to set an extended super memory block in which all or part of the first super memory block and all or part of the second super memory block are merged, and may write a write data to the extended super memory block in an interleaving manner when writing the write data requested by a host.

In one embodiment, a system may include a memory unit, a first processing unit configured to write data into a memory region of the memory unit, a second processing unit configured to read data from the memory region, a first control unit configured to control the first processing unit's access to the memory unit and, and a second control unit configured to control the second processing unit's access to the memory unit. The first control unit may be configured to obtain, from the second control unit, a first memory address associated with a data reading process of the second processing unit, receive a write request from the first processing unit, the read request having an associated second memory address, and write data into the memory region based on the write request in response to a determination that the second memory address falls outside of the guarded reading region.
