PLX/Avago Assigned Patent

Transfer of commands and storage data to storage device

PLX Technology, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, has been assigned a patent (8,738,81) developed by Matthew Stephens, and Shigekatsu Tateno, Abingdon, UK, for a “transfer of commands and storage data to a storage device.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ” A controller controls transfer of commands and storage data over a databus to a data storage device. The controller comprises a memory arranged to store a queue of commands prior to the commands being transferred over the databus. The controller identifies data access commands in the queue that specify the same type of data access and contiguous ranges of addresses. A concatenated data access command is transferred in place of so identified data access commands, the concatenated data access command specifying the same type of data access and the overall range of addresses. This improves the rate of data transfers.”

The patent application was filed on May 27, 2009 (12/472,901).
