Logical-to-physical block mapping inside the disk controller: accessing data objects without operating system intervention
Abstract:
Data access in a storage device managed by a storage controller is carried out by receiving in the storage controller offsets in objects directly from a plurality of requesting entities of a computer system. The computer controls a mapping mechanism operated by the storage controller, wherein the mapping mechanism relates the offsets in the objects into physical addresses of the data on the storage device, and wherein the data is accessed at the physical addresses.
