Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Providing for a paradigm shift in block-level abstraction for storage devices is described herein. At a block-level, storage is characterized as a variable size data record, rather than a fixed size sector. In some aspects, the variable size data record can comprise a variable binary key-data pair, for addressing and identifying a variable size block of data, and for dynamically specifying the size of such block in terms of data storage. By changing the key or data values, the location, identity or size of block-level storage can be modified. Data records can be passed to and from the storage device to facilitate operational commands over ranges of such records. Block-level data compression, space management and transactional operations are provided, mitigating a need of higher level systems to characterize underlying data storage for implementation of such operations.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A data storage apparatus comprising: a plurality of physical data blocks, wherein ones of the plurality of physical data blocks have one or more fixed lengths; a processing circuit on the data storage apparatus and coupled to the plurality of physical data blocks, the processing circuit configured to map subsets of the plurality of physical data blocks to corresponding variable-length data records, the variable-length data records including corresponding k…
