Abstract
A storage processor particularly suited to RAID systems provides high throughput for applications such as streaming video data. An embodiment is configured as an ASIC with a high degree of parallelism in its interconnections. User memory may pass through memory in a single hop by combining parity generation with FIFO buffering in the read and write user data paths. Independent memory channels may be controlled to level the load providing high memory bandwidth.
