Hierarchical file block variant tracking for performance in parallelism at multi-disk arrays
By Francis Pelletier | January 8, 2025 at 2:00 pmIC Manage, Inc., Campbell, CA, has been assigned a patent (12182429) developed by March; Roger, Santa Clara, CA, for a “hierarchical file block variant tracking for performance in parallelism at multi-disk arrays.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A computer implemented method implemented by at least one processor performing executable instructions improves the performance of multi-disk arrays by aggregating several file block variant commitments into a fewer number of parallel file write operations. Using the method, a system and apparatus intermediates between a central file service and distributed virtual machine data center servers. Requests for file block variants are redirected to the location of the freshest retention. Each data center has a non-transitory file block variant store locally attached. Each file block librarian provides a file system view to each virtual machine. Several Virtual Machine Data Centers are coordinated by a tracker which locates, redirects, and retrieves any file block variant within its name space or a name subspace delegated to a librarian. A threshold of parallelism related to dimensions of a multi-disk array determines scheduling of write operations.”
