Abstract
A method for hardware assisted data lookup in a storage unit is provided. The method includes formatting data in at least one of a plurality of data formats for storage in the storage unit. The method includes configuring a logic unit with one or more parameters associated with the plurality of data formats and identifying incoming data with the one or more parameters as an instruction for execution.
Claims20
A storage system comprising:
- a plurality of storage devices;
- and
- a processor, operatively coupled to the plurality of storage devices, configured to:
- encode an instruction in metadata to be stored at a page of storage memory, the instruction comprising a command to perform an action on another page of the storage memory;
- and
- provide the page to a storage device of the plurality of storage devices for writing into the storage memory of the storage device, wherein the storage device is to perform the action upon reading the page comprising the instruction from the storage memory.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- encoding, by a processor operatively coupled to a plurality of storage devices, an instruction in metadata to be stored at a page of storage memory, the instruction comprising a command to perform an action on another page of the storage memory;
- and
- providing the page to a storage device of the plurality of storage devices for writing into the storage memory of the storage device, wherein the storage device is to perform the action upon reading the page comprising the instruction from the storage memory.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to:
- encode an instruction in metadata to be stored at a page of storage memory, the instruction comprising a command to perform an action on another page of the storage memory;
- and
- provide the page to a storage device of a plurality of storage devices for writing into the storage memory of the storage device, wherein the storage device is to perform the action upon reading the page comprising the instruction from the storage memory.
