    摘要: A storage layer is configured to implement efficient open-close consistency operations. Open close consistency may comprise preserving the original state of a file until the file is closed. The storage layer may be configured to clone a file in response to a file open request. Cloning the file may comprise referencing file data by two separate sets of identifiers. One set may be configured to reflect file modifications, and the other set may be configured to preserve the original state of the file. Subsequent operations configured to modify the file may be performed in reference to one of the sets of identifiers, while the storage layer provides access to the unmodified file through the other set of identifiers. Closing the file may comprise merging the sets of identifiers according to a merge policy.

    摘要: A storage layer presents logical address space of a non-volatile storage device. The storage layer maintains logical interfaces to the non-volatile storage device, which may include arbitrary, any-to-any mappings between logical identifiers and storage resources. Data may be stored on the non-volatile storage device in a contextual format, which includes persistent metadata that defines the logical interface of the data. The storage layer may modify the logical interface of data that is stored in the contextual format. The modified logical interface may be inconsistent with the existing contextual format of the data on the non-volatile storage media. The storage layer may provide access to the data in the inconsistent contextual format through the modified logical interface. The contextual format of the data may be updated to be consistent with the modified logical interface in a write out-of-place storage operation.

    摘要: A virtual storage layer (VSL) presents logical address space of a non-volatile storage device. The VSL maintains logical interfaces to the non-volatile storage device, which may include arbitrary, any-to-any mappings between logical identifiers and storage resources. Data may be stored on the non-volatile storage device in a contextual format, which includes persistent metadata that defines the logical interface of the data. The VSL may modify the logical interface of data that is stored in the contextual format. The modified logical interface may be inconsistent with the existing contextual format of the data on the non-volatile storage media. The VSL may provide access to the data in the inconsistent contextual format through the modified logical interface. The contextual format of the data may be updated to be consistent with the modified logical interface in a write out-of-place storage operation.

    摘要: An auto-commit memory is capable of implementing a pre-configured, triggered commit action in response to a failure condition, such as a loss of power, invalid shutdown, fault, or the like. A computing device may access the auto-commit memory using memory access semantics (using a memory mapping mechanism or the like), bypassing system calls typically required in virtual memory operations. Since the auto-commit memory is pre-configured to commit data stored thereon in the event of a failure, users of the auto-commit memory may view these memory semantic operations as being instantly committed. Since operations to commit the data are taken out of the write-commit path, the performance of applications that are write-commit bound may be significantly improved.

    摘要翻译: 自动提交存储器能够响应于诸如功率损失,无效关机,故障等的故障状况来实现预配置的触发提交动作。 计算设备可以使用存储器访问语义(使用存储器映射机制等)来访问自动提交存储器,绕过虚拟存储器操作中通常需要的系统调用。 由于自动提交存储器在发生故障的情况下被预配置为提交存储在其上的数据,所以自动提交存储器的用户可以将这些存储器语义操作视为立即提交。 由于提交数据的操作是从写入提交路径中取出的,因此可以显着提高写入提交绑定的应用程序的性能。
