    摘要: The invention relates to a method of writing data to and reading data from a memory (102) by a host. By limiting processing time, time restrictions regarding the data to be processed can be met. However, this is at the expense of data integrity. By setting time limits for a group (300) of multiple processing assignments and dynamic allocation of time, reserved for error recovery and retries, data integrity can be improved, while time limits can still be met. Furthermore, by attaching priorities to the assignments, multiple types of data can be handled in one group of assignments. For example, assignments with real-time requirements can be put in a group with assignments with best effort requirements. In this way, more flexible planning of processing assignments is possible. The invention also relates to a system for writing data to and reading data from a memory.

    摘要: A method for breathing of scheduling algorithms for a storage device (110). The method including: (a) computing a worst-case duration of a breathing cycle (P) for the storage device (110); (b) starting a breathing cycle; (c) determining if one of the following becomes true before the end of P: (i) a number of real-time requests is at least a predetermined threshold based on a number of data streams and performance parameters of the storage device; and (ii) a number of pending requests for any single stream becomes more than one; (d) if at least one of (i) and (ii) remain true during the duration of P, starting a subsequent breathing cycle after completion of the breathing cycle; and (e) if both of (i) and (ii) are not true during the duration of P, waiting P time units from the start of the breathing cycle before starting the subsequent breathing cycle.

    摘要: A computer system includes a system memory (SM) and a non-volatile memory (NVM). The computer system is arranged to copy at least a part of the system state, stored in the system memory during a clean boot-up procedure, into the non-volatile memory (209, 329). During subsequent start-ups of the computer system, the system state is copied from the non-volatile memory into the system memory (205, 305), resulting in a significantly faster system start-up. In case the configuration of the computer system has changed, the complete boot-up procedure is executed again and the new system state is copied into the non-volatile memory, overwriting the previously stored system state.

    摘要: There is provided a method of increasing boot-up speed in a computer system (10). The system (10) includes computing devices (20) for processing data and a data store (60) coupled thereto for providing data to and receiving data from the devices (20). The store (60) is operable to write and/or read data in several regions (T1, T2, T3) of a data medium (200). Access between the regions is subject to associated jump delays (SK1/2, SK2/3; SK1/3, SL3/2). The store (60) includes a cache (320) for temporarily storing data read from and/or for writing data to the medium (200). On initial boot-up of the system (20), a log is made of a sequence in which the regions (T1, T2, T3) are accessed. Moreover, on subsequent boot-up of the system (10), the log is used to store data read from the medium (200) temporarily in the cache (310, 320) so as to provide for a more temporally efficient sequence of accessing the regions (T1, T2, T3) for speeding up said subsequent boot-up.
