Latest Patents
One of Lu Ding's latest patents is titled "Read command processing for data storage system based on previous writes." This invention addresses the process of handling read commands from a host requesting data from a memory portion of a data storage system. It determines whether sections of the memory have been previously written to by the host. If not, predetermined data is sent in response to the read command without accessing the memory portion. Additionally, the requested data can be cached in a second memory based on the previous write status.
Another notable patent is "Lifetime extension of non-volatile semiconductor memory for data storage device." This innovation involves determining a write amplification factor based on the amount of data previously written to the non-volatile semiconductor memory (NVSM). It also considers the amount of data requested to be written to both the data storage device (DSD) and the NVSM. The invention directs or redirects data to the disk based on the determined write amplification factor, thereby extending the lifetime of the memory.
