A data reduction method, apparatus, and computing device and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: when reduction is to be performed on a to-be-reduced data block, obtaining a fingerprint of the to-be-reduced data block; forming an index set based on the fingerprint of the to-be-reduced data block by using index information of data blocks with identical fingerprints; and performing, in the to-be-reduced data block based on the fingerprint of the to-be-reduced data block, data reduction processing on a data block to which index information in a same index set belongs.

Data reduction method, apparatus, computing device, and storage medium for forming index information based on fingerprints

In a method for compressing data, a storage system determines whether deduplication can be performed on a target data block. When deduplication cannot be performed on the target data block, the storage system obtaining a similar fingerprint of the target data block, and determines, based on the similar fingerprint, a combined data block group to which the target data block belongs. The storage system then performs similar compression on the target data block based on a reference block in the combined data block group.

A data storage method in a storage system and a related system. The method includes: calculating a similar fingerprint of first to-be-stored data to obtain a first similar fingerprint, where the first similar fingerprint is for determining whether the first to-be-stored data is similar to stored data; determining reference data based on the first similar fingerprint, where a similar fingerprint of the reference data is the first similar fingerprint; determining first differential data between the to-be-stored data and the reference data based on the reference data, where the reference data is stored in a first storage unit; and storing the first differential data in a second storage unit, where the first storage unit and the second storage unit belong to a read range of a same read I/O.

Data storage method in storage system and related device

In a data prefetching method, a storage device obtains a first sequence stream length and a first access count of a target logical block after execution of a first data access request is completed. When a second data access request is received, the storage device modifies the first sequence stream length to a second sequence stream length and modifies the first access count to a second access count. The storage device further calculates a sequence degree of the target logical block based on the second sequence stream length and the second access count, and performs a data prefetching operation when the sequence degree of the target logical block exceeds a first prefetch threshold.
