Nyriad Assigned Three Patents

Persistent storage device management
Nyriad, Inc., Dover, DE, has been assigned a patent (11,347,653) developed by Inglis, Stuart John, Lambert, Sheridan John, Dawson, Timothy Kelly, Simmons, Xavier Aldren, and St. John, Alexander Kingsley, Cambridge, New Zealand, for a “persistent storage device management.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method comprising: receiving a request to write data at a virtual location, writing the data to a physical location on a persistent storage device, and recording a mapping from the virtual location to the physical location, wherein the physical location corresponds to a next free block in a sequence of blocks on the persistent storage device.”

The patent application was filed on August 19, 2019 (16/544,605). Vector processor storage

Nyriad, Ltd., Cambridge, New Zealand, has been assigned a patent (11,263,145) developed by Simmons, Xavier Aldren, Turpitt, Jack Spencer, Shuker, Rafael John Patrick, Hale, Tyler Wilson, St. John, Alexander Kingsley, and, Inglis, Stuart John, Cambridge, New Zealand, for a “vector processor storage.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method comprising: receiving, at a vector processor, a request to store data, performing, by the vector processor, one or more transforms on the data, and directly instructing, by the vector processor, one or more storage device to store the data, wherein performing one or more transforms on the data comprises: erasure encoding the data to generate n data fragments configured such that any k of the data fragments are usable to regenerate the data, where k is less than n, and wherein directly instructing one or more storage device to store the data comprises: directly instructing the one or more storage devices to store the plurality of data fragments.”

The patent application was filed on August 30, 2019 (16/556,711).

Block device interface using non-volatile pinned memory
Nyriad, Ltd., Cambridge, New Zealand, has been assigned a patent (11,263,144) developed by Inglis, Stuart John, Dawson, Timothy Kelly, Simmons, Xavier Aldren, Lambert, Sheridan John, Shuker, Rafael John Patrick, Azaris, Dominic Joseph Michael Houston, and St. John, Alexander Kingsley, Cambridge, New Zealand, for a “block device interface using non-volatile pinned memory.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method comprising: receiving, at a block device interface, an instruction to write data, the instruction comprising a memory location of the data, copying the data to pinned memory, performing, by a vector processor, one or more invertible transforms on the data, and writing the data from the pinned memory to one or more storage devices asynchronously, wherein the pinned memory of the data corresponds to a location in pinned memory, the pinned memory being accessible by the vector processor and one or more other processors.”

The patent application was filed on August 30, 2019 (16/556,575).
