Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Some implementations may include a virtual storage system to which data is written. The virtual storage system may include a cache and multiple hard drives. Multiple queues may be associated with the multiple hard drives such that each hard drive of the multiple hard drives has a corresponding queue of the multiple queues. A set of candidate rows may be selected from the cache. For each candidate row in the set of candidate rows, destination hard drives may be identified. Each candidate row may be placed in queues corresponding to the destination hard drives. Two or more candidate rows from the multiple queues may be written substantially contemporaneously (e.g., in parallel) to two or more destination hard drives.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A virtual storage system comprising: a cache; one or more drives; one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform acts comprising: selecting a set of candidate rows from a plurality of rows that are stored in the cache, individual candidate rows of the set of candidate rows selected based on destination drives with which the individual candidate rows enga…
