    摘要: An apparatus is equipped with a disk block allocation optimization function for generating, if possible, an alternative disk block allocation for a current disk block allocation that will yield improved overall access time for a sequence of file accesses. The function includes logic for tracing the sequence of logical file accesses, then mapping the traced logical file accesses to physical disk blocks to determine the current disk block allocation, logic for generating the alternative disk block allocation, if possible, using the physical trace results, and logic for effectuating the alternate disk block allocation, if generated. In one particular embodiment, the logic for generating the alternative disk block allocation employs a random search approach, while in another embodiment, the logic for generating the alternative disk block allocation employs a heuristic approach.

    摘要: A computer system is equipped with an operating system having a tracer driver for generating trace data including disk locations accessed for disk accesses made by various components of the operating system during system startup/boot time. The tracer driver is loaded at an initial phase of system start-up. The computer system is further equipped with a companion disk block relocation driver for generating, if possible, an alternative disk block allocation for a current disk block allocation that will yield improved overall access time for a sequence of disk accesses. In some embodiments, the disk block relocation driver includes logic for tracing the sequence of disk accesses to determine the current disk block allocation, logic for generating the alternative disk block allocation, if possible, using the trace results, and logic for effectuating the alternate disk block allocation, if generated. In one particular embodiment, the logic for generating the alternative disk block allocation employs a random search approach, while in another embodiment, the logic for generating the alternative disk block allocation employs a heuristic approach.

    摘要: A technique includes performing a plurality of write operations to store data in different physical memory locations. Each of the physical memory locations are associated with a logical address that is shared in common among the physical addresses. The technique includes storing sequence information in the physical memory locations to indicate which one of the write operations occurred last.

    摘要: An intelligent bus bridge contained in a single integrated circuit chip is disclosed along with computer systems and server systems that employ intelligent input/output subsystems. The intelligent bus bridge includes a local processor coupled for communication over a local component bus, a local memory controller that enables access to a local memory from the local component bus, and a component bus bridge that propagates accesses between the local component bus and a system component bus. The single integrated circuit chip enables dual-porting of the local memory controller without significant increases in input/output pins. A mode control input to the intelligent bus bridge indicates whether the intelligent bus bridge functions in a local master mode or a host master mode in a computer or server system.
