Latest Patents

Su’s patent, “Method and Apparatus to Reduce Latency for Random Read Workloads in a Solid State Drive,” describes techniques for improving read quality of service (rQoS). The invention prioritizes host random-read operations over program operations used for garbage collection, helping reduce delays experienced by read workloads.

The approach also seeks to minimize program time, program-suspend-and-resume overhead, and firmware processing overhead by reducing the number of program commands used during garbage collection while random reads are being serviced. According to the supplied description, this allows the drive to prioritize host reads without reducing the amount of data stored on the drive.

Career Highlights

Su’s listed patent reflects work on balancing read responsiveness with the background maintenance tasks required in solid-state storage. His association with Solidigm connects this work to a company focused on data-storage technology.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Mark Anthony Golez and Sarvesh Varakabe Gangadhar as Su’s coworkers. Their inclusion provides context about colleagues associated with his professional environment, though no specific roles in the patent are provided.

Conclusion

Holman Su’s patent focuses on reducing latency for random reads by coordinating host operations with garbage-collection programming in a solid-state drive.
