Samsung patents system that routes data tasks to specific storage drives
Samsung has been granted a patent for a system that acts as a middleman between a user's request and the storage device holding the data. The system checks the status of the specific drive before sending the task, ensuring the request goes to the right place to be processed.
In the filing’s own words
Systems and methods for processing and distributing a service request. The service request is received from a client, and a location of data is identified. A status of a computational storage device associated with the location is determined. The service request is transmitted to a storage service associated with the computational storage device based on the status. A response to the service request from the storage service, is identified, and the response is provided to the client.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method for processing and distributing a service request, the method comprising: providing a gateway between a client and a service application, wherein the service application is communicatively coupled to a first computational storage device and a second computational storage device different from the first computational storage device; receiving, at the gateway, a first service request from the client, wherein the first service request identifies data for performing a first service; based on receiving the first service request: identifying, by the gateway, a location of the data; identifying, by the gateway, based on the location, the first computational storage device; determining, by the gateway, a status of the first computational storage device associated with the location; transmitting, by the gateway, the first service request to the service application based on the status, wherein the service application is configured to transmit a command for configuring the first computational storage device with a program for performing an operation associated with the first service request, transmit a first signal to the first computational storage device for processing the first service request based on the program, receive a response from the first computational storage device, and forward the response to the gateway; and providing, by the gateway, the response to the client.
