Addressing techniques for write and erase operations in a non-volatile storage device
This disclosure provides techniques hierarchical address virtualization within a memory controller and configurable block device allocation. By performing address translation only at select hierarchical levels, a memory controller can be designed to have predictable I/O latency, with brief or otherwise negligible logical-to-physical address translation time. In one embodiment, address transition may be implemented entirely with logical gates and look-up tables of a memory controller integrated circuit, without requiring processor cycles. The disclosed virtualization scheme also provides for flexibility in customizing the configuration of virtual storage devices, to present nearly any desired configuration to a host or client.

Method for providing application data of at least one application executable on a control unit of a vehicle, method for calibrating a control unit, control unit and evaluation unit
A method for providing application data of at least one application executable on a control unit of a vehicle. The control unit includes components for running an operating system including a virtual memory management. In the method, an application address space of a first virtual memory is initially read out, the application address space being assigned to a process of the application and representing an area of a physical memory of the control unit occupied by the application data. The application address space is mapped in a further step into a virtual address space, which is assigned to a process of a communication application for exchanging data via a communication interface to a control unit-external evaluation unit. The application data are therefore retrievable via the communication interface.

Method, system, and related device for NAS data access
This application describes a method, a system, and a related device for network attached storage (NAS) data access. The method includes receiving, by a NAS client, an access request message, and determining an operation object according to information about to-be-accessed target data in the access request message, where the operation object includes a directory and/or a file to which the target data belongs. The method may also include generating a first direct memory access file system (DMAFS) packet according to a format described by using a preset file system type, where the preset file system type is used to describe a format of a DMAFS packet. Furthermore, the method may include sending the first DMAFS packet to an acceleration apparatus, so that the acceleration apparatus converts the operation object and an operation type that are in the first DMAFS packet into NFS data, and encapsulates the NFS data into a network protocol packet and sends the network protocol packet to a NAS server.
Virtual disk container and NVMe storage management system and method
A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a vVol NVMe subsystem for a plurality of vVol NVMe namespaces within a storage system; and enabling an Asymmetric Namespace Access (ANA) group that aggregates two or more vVol NVMe namespaces defined within the plurality of vVol NVMe namespaces and communicates ANA group information in-band, thus eliminating the need for out-of-band communication of vVol protocol endpoint information.
Memory fabric software implementation
A hardware-based processing node of an object memory fabric can comprise a memory module storing and managing one or more memory objects within an object-based memory space. Each memory object can be created natively within the memory module, accessed using a single memory reference instruction without Input/Output (I/O) instructions, and managed by the memory module at a single memory layer. The memory module can provide an interface layer below an application layer of a software stack. The interface layer can comprise one or more storage managers managing hardware of a processor and controlling portions of the object-based memory space visible to a virtual address space and physical address space of the processor. The storage managers can further provide an interface between the object-based memory space and an operating system executed by the processor and an alternate object memory based storage transparent to software using the interface layer.
Heterogeneous Storage with Preserved Addressing
A method for preserving a media access control (MAC) address of a virtual server is provided. The method includes assigning a physical computing resource to a virtual server, assigning a physical storage memory resource to the virtual server, and assigning a physical network resource to the virtual server. The method includes assigning a virtual MAC address to the virtual server, the virtual MAC address to remain with the virtual server despite reassignment of one or more of the physical computing resource, the physical storage memory resource or the physical network resource, wherein at least one method operation is performed by a processor. A computing and storage system is also provided.
