A method, computer program product, and computer system for extending, by a computing device, transaction log page-buffers for Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) onto a solid state drive (SSD). It may be determined whether a bandwidth limit of the NVRAM has reached a threshold bandwidth. An IO may be processed on one of the NVRAM and the SSD based upon, at least in part, whether the bandwidth limit of the NVRAM has reached the threshold bandwidth.

Technologies are provided for supporting multi-actuator storage device access using logical addresses. Separate sets of logical addresses (such as logical block addresses) can be associated with different actuators of a storage device. For example, a first set of logical addresses can be assigned to storage locations on one or more storage media that is/are accessible using a first actuator of the storage device and a second set of logical addresses can be assigned to storage locations on one or more storage media that is/are accessible using a second actuator of the storage device. The storage device can receive a data access request containing a logical address and can identify a logical address set to which the logical address belongs. The storage device can use an actuator associated with the logical address set to access a storage location assigned to the logical address.

Symmetric storage using a cloud-based storage system, including: receiving, at a cloud-based storage system among storage systems synchronously replicating a dataset, an I/O operation directed to the dataset; determining, in dependence upon the I/O operation, a metadata update describing a mapping of segments of content to an address within a storage object, wherein the storage object includes the dataset; and synchronizing metadata on another storage system of the storage systems by sending the metadata update from the cloud-based storage system to the other storage system to update a metadata representation on the second storage system in accordance with the metadata update.

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, mechanisms, techniques, and apparatuses for presentation of direct accessed storage under a logical drive model; for implementing a distributed architecture for cooperative NVM Data protection; data mirroring for consistent SSD latency; for boosting a controller's performance and RAS with DIF support via concurrent RAID processing; for implementing arbitration and resource schemes of a doorbell mechanism, including doorbell arbitration for fairness and prevention of attack congestion; and for implementing multiple interrupt generation using a messaging unit and NTB in a controller through use of an interrupt coalescing scheme.

A memory system includes a memory device including plural non-volatile memory blocks and a controller configured to determine whether a first memory block among the plural non-volatile memory blocks is re-usable after the first memory block is determined to be a bad block and copy second block information associated with a second memory block including a second program sequence number within a set range of a first program sequence number in the first memory block to first block information of the first memory block.

Multiple data paths may be available to a data management system for transferring data between a primary storage device and a secondary storage device. The data management system may be able to gain operational advantages by performing load balancing across the multiple data paths. The system may use application layer characteristics of the data for transferring from a primary storage to a backup storage during data backup operation, and correspondingly from a secondary or backup storage system to a primary storage system during restoration.

A system and method comprising: receiving a request to write data stored at a first range of a first volume to a second range of a second volume, where first metadata for the first range of the first volume is associated with a range of physical addresses where the data is stored in the storage system; and responsive to receiving the request: creating second metadata for the second range of the second volume, wherein the second metadata is associated with the range of physical addresses where the data is stored in the storage system; and associating the second volume with the second metadata.

An embodiment of an electronic apparatus may include one or more substrates, and logic coupled to the one or more substrates, the logic to control access to a persistent storage media based on one of a first access protocol and a second access protocol that is different from the first access protocol, and select between the first access protocol and the second access protocol at runtime based on a user configurable parameter. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Apparatuses and methods can be related to supplementing AI processing in memory. An accelerator and/or a host can perform AI processing. Some of the operations comprising the AI processing can be performed by a memory device instead of by an accelerator and/or a host. The memory device can perform AI processing in conjunction with the host and/or accelerator to increase the efficiency of the host and/or accelerator.

The present disclosure generally relates to a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) dual port controller occupying less real estate on an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Rather than utilizing separate NVMe modules in the controller, with each module dedicated to a single port, the dual ports can share the same module. The host device believes that there are dedicated module resources because the module has two NVMe registers to provide the host device with the feeling that there are dedicated modules. Additionally, an interconnect between the ports and the registers contributes to providing the host device the feeling that there are dedicated modules. Furthermore, the rather than losing the capabilities of a second module when operating in single port mode, all of the capabilities of the only module are available when operating in either single port mode or dual port mode.
