    摘要: Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus and method to store initialization and configuration information is provided. The method may include storing basic input/output system (BIOS) software in a polymer memory. The method may further include copying a first portion of the BIOS software from the polymer memory to a random access memory (RAM) buffer of a memory controller, wherein the RAM buffer has a storage capacity of at least about two kilobytes (KB).

    摘要: An apparatus, as well as systems, methods, and articles can operate to record the address of write operations to a memory cached by a non-volatile cache prior to executing an operating system cache driver. In an embodiment, a non-volatile cache may be implemented by creating a device option read only memory (ROM), or modifying the associated computer basic input-output system (BIOS) to trap software interrupts associated with disk and other media access requests. Associated addresses, such as logical block addresses, can be stored in a log for data that is modified. The resulting log can be stored in a non-volatile medium, including the cache itself. If the available log space is not large enough to record all write activity prior to loading operating system drivers, a flag may be set to indicate the overrun condition.

    摘要: An optimized CD/DVD authoring method is disclosed. Either a pre-final version of a CD/DVD having a first block allocation or a disk image of the pre-final version of the CD/DVD with the first block allocation is first created. An alternate block allocation to the first block allocation that yields improved overall access time for the content of the CD/DVD is generated, if possible, based on the order a selected subset or the entire content of the CD/DVD is accessed. A final version of the CD/DVD is then generated using the alternate block allocation.

    摘要: A mass storage device having a storage medium on which digital signals can be stored. The mass storage device is coupleable to a computer through a high-speed serial bus. The high-speed serial bus has a latency and a signal transmission rate sufficient to enable transmission of digital signals between the mass storage device and the computer without interim storage of the digital signals in a buffer inside the mass storage device. The computer has a processor capable of processing the digital signals and the digital signals may be transmitted between the mass storage device and the computer without processing of the digital signals by a processor in the mass storage device.
