Systems and methods for efficiently operating on a storage device are provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods for operating on a storage device having a data portion and a log portion with a plurality of regions are provided. A write command is received with a storage device controller. The write command may include an address portion and a data portion. A current position in the log is identified that corresponds to a first of the plurality of regions to which data has been written last. Data stored in a second of the plurality of regions is selectively transferred to the data portion of the storage device based on validity and frequency of use of the data. The data and address portions included in the write command are stored to the log portion based on the current position.

Methods and apparatus for efficiently operating on a storage device

Systems and techniques relating to input/output (I/O) command aggregation include, according to at least one implementation, a method including receiving a first command from a device driver through interface hardware for accessing a storage device; identifying the received command as an aggregation command having a tag corresponding to consolidated command information; communicating a transfer ready notification to the device driver; receiving the consolidated command information from the device driver, wherein the consolidated command information includes memory addresses and data transfer counts for a defined quantity of aggregated I/O commands or for aggregated I/O commands that are received within a defined period of time; storing the consolidated command information in memory; receiving a second command including the tag corresponding to the consolidated command information; and processing the second command with respect to the storage device based on the memory addresses and the data transfer counts in the consolidated command information.

Input/output (I/O) command aggregation

The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to input/output (I/O) command aggregation for Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) enabled devices. In some implementations, a method can comprise receiving a first command for a target device, wherein the first command includes a first memory address and a first data transfer count; receiving a second command for the target device, wherein the second command includes a second memory address and a second data transfer count, and wherein the first and second commands are entirely read commands or entirely write commands; aggregating the first and second memory addresses and the first and second data transfer counts into consolidated command information; generating a packet command that includes a packet tag and a data size corresponding to the consolidated command information; communicating the packet command to the target device; in response to receiving a transfer ready notification from the target device, communicating the consolidated command information to the target device; and communicating additional information to the target device.

SCSI I/O command aggregation

The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for manufacturing a treated web. The subject methods and apparatus involve the control of numerous variables, including, without limitation, web tension (both overall web tension as well as the web tension immediately before and after each individual blade), angle of entry of web into each blade, blade angle in relation to horizontal reference point, blade pressure against moving web, angle of exit of web from each blade, web speed, number of blades, the pressure of the leading nip rolls, the pressure of the trailing nip rolls, static control, thickness of each blade, bevel on each blade, oven cure temperature, oven cure dwell time, blade temperature and blade surfaces and edge conditions and blade finish.
