    Abstract: A storage system and data control method capable of extending the service lifes of storage devices of the same type and with different properties and reducing operation management cost are proposed. The storage system includes: a first storage device; a second storage device with a smaller upper limit number of writes and a larger storage capacity per unit area than those of the first storage device; and a processor that allocates storage areas from the first storage device and the second storage device to a virtual volume to be provided to a host, wherein the processor relocates data which is stored in a storage area with higher write frequency from the host than a predetermined write threshold, from among the storage areas allocated from the second storage device to the virtual volume, from the storage area of the second storage device to a storage area of the first storage device.

    Abstract: A write frequency of a non-volatile memory is determined at a fine granularity while suppressing consumption of the volatile memory. When it is determined that a copy of specified data from a specified physical storage area to another physical storage area is to be executed, a controller reads the specified data and specified write frequency information, selects a write destination physical storage area group from a plurality of physical storage area groups based on the specified write frequency information and classification information, selects a write destination physical storage area from the write destination physical storage area group, changes the specified write frequency information, writes the specified data to the write destination physical storage area, writes the changed specified write frequency information to the non-volatile memory, and updates translation information based on the write destination physical storage area group and the write destination physical storage area.

    Abstract: A flash memory storage system has a plurality of flash memory devices comprising a plurality of flash memories, and a controller having an I/O processing control unit for accessing a flash memory device specified by a designated access destination in an I/O request received from an external device from among the plurality of flash memory devices. A parity group can be configured of flash memory devices having identical internal configuration.

    Abstract: A storage device, connected to a computer including a processor and first memory, and executing a program, stores data processed under the program. The computer includes a protocol processing unit that accesses data in the storage device, an accelerator that includes an arithmetic unit executing a part of a process of the program, and a second memory storing data, and executes the part of the process. The first memory receives a processing request for processing data, and causes the accelerator to execute a command to process data, corresponding to the processing request for the processing request including a process to be executed by the arithmetic unit. The accelerator requests the protocol processing unit to provide target data indicated by a command received from the program, reads data from the storage device via the protocol processing unit, and stores the data in the second memory. The arithmetic unit executes the command.

    Abstract: A charging assistant system that assists charging for use of an accelerator unit, which is one or more accelerators, includes an operation amount obtaining unit, an acceleration rate estimation unit, and a use fee determination unit. For each of one or more commands input into the accelerator unit, the operation amount obtaining unit obtains the amount of operation related to execution of the command from a response output from the accelerator unit for the command. For the one or more commands input into the accelerator unit, the acceleration rate estimation unit estimates an acceleration rate on the basis of command execution time that is time required for processing of the one or more commands, and one or more amounts of operation obtained for the one or more commands respectively. The use fee determination unit determines a use fee of the accelerator unit on the basis of the estimated acceleration rate.
