| 20110043387 | DATA COMPRESSION USING A NESTED HIERACHY OF FIXED PHRASE LENGTH STATIC AND DYNAMIC DICTIONARIES - The present invention describes lossless data compression/decompression methods and systems. A random access memory (RAM) operates as a static dictionary and includes commonly used strings/symbols/phrases/words. An input buffer operates as a dynamic dictionary and includes input strings/phrases/symbols/words. A set-associative cache memory operates as a hash table, and includes pointers pointing to the commonly used strings/symbols/phrases/words in the static dictionary and/or pointing to one or more of the input strings/phrases/symbols/words in the dynamic dictionary. Alternatively, the set-associative cache memory combines the dynamic dictionary, the static dictionary and the hash table. When encountering a symbol/phrase/string/word in the static or dynamic dictionary in an input stream, a compressor logic or module places a pointer pointing to the symbol/phrase/string/word at a current location on the output stream. The hash table may include phrases/symbols/strings/words and/or pointers pointing to phrases/symbols/strings/words. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20100302077 | WEAR REDUCTION METHODS BY USING COMPRESSION/DECOMPRESSION TECHNIQUES WITH FAST RANDOM ACCESS - The present invention reduces the number of writes to a main memory to increase useful life of the main memory. To reduce the number of writes to the main memory, data to be written is written to a cache line in a lowest-level cache memory and in a higher-level cache memory(s). If the cache line in the lowest-level cache memory is full, the number of used cache lines in the lowest-level cache reaches a threshold, or there is a need for an empty entry in the lowest-level cache, a processor or a hardware unit compresses content of the cache line and stores the compressed content in the main memory. The present invention also provides LZB algorithm allowing decompression of data from an arbitrary location in compressed data stream with a bound on the number of characters which needs to be processed before a character or string of interest is processed. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20090172468 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ON STORAGE SUBSYSTEMS - A set of disks in a plurality of disk arrays are configured to have one or more spare partitions. Upon detecting a faulty disk in a faulty array, the method involves the steps of: (a) migrating data in the faulty array containing the faulty disk to one or more spare partitions; (b) reconfiguring the faulty array to form a new array without the faulty disk; (c) migrating data from one or more spare partitions in the set of disks to the reconfigured new array; (d) monitoring to identify when overall spare capacity falls below a predetermined threshold; and when the predetermined threshold is exceeded, scheduling a service visit for replacement of the failed disks. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090177918 | STORAGE REDUNDANT ARRAY OF INDEPENDENT DRIVES - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for managing redundant array of independent drives. In response to a failure of a hard disk in a first RAID array, the process calculates an amount of free capacity available across a set of remaining hard disks in the first RAID array. The set of remaining hard disks comprises every hard disk associated with the first RAID array except the failed disk. In response to a determination that the amount of free capacity is sufficient to re-create the first RAID array at a same RAID level, the process reconstructs the first RAID array using an amount of space in the set of remaining drives utilized by the first RAID array and the free capacity to form a new RAID array without utilizing a spare hard disk. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090287901 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTENT REPLICATION DETECTION AND ELIMINATION IN MAIN MEMORY - A system and method for effectively increasing the amount of data that can be stored in the main memory of a computer, particularly, by a hardware enhancement of a memory controller apparatus that detects duplicate memory contents and eliminates duplicate memory contents wherein the duplication and elimination are performed by hardware without imposing any penalty on the overall performance of the system. | 11-19-2009 |
