NxGn Data Assigned Two Patents

Performing search and complex pattern matching in SSD
NxGn Data, Inc., Irvine, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,336,135) developed by Salessi, Nader, Laguna Niguel, CA, and Alcantara, Joao, Irvine, CA, for a “systems and methods for performing search and complex pattern matching in a solid state drive.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A system and method of providing enhanced data processing and analysis in a storage device, such as a solid state drive, (SSD). The SSD includes flash memory and an SSD controller capable of executing searches on the data in the flash memory without returning all of the data to be searched to a host CPU outside of the SSD. Other processing capabilities incorporated into the SSD may include encryption and decryption, compression and decompression, and in-line indexing of data. The SSD efficiently processes queries through the use of an internal data buffer and a data engine configured to search partial data.“

The patent application was filed on December 27, 2013 (14/141,646).

Performing single and multi threaded searches and complex pattern
matching in SSD
NxGn Data, Inc., Irvine, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,336,313) developed by Salessi, Nader, Laguna Niguel, CA, and Alcantara, Joao, Irvine, CA, for a “systems and methods for performing single and multi threaded searches and complex pattern matching in a solid state drive.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”System and methods for enhanced data processing and analysis in a storage device, such as a solid state drive, (SSD) include an SSD having a data storage and a controller. The data storage stores a plurality of data sets. The controller has a pattern buffer and a data engine. The controller receives a query, processes the query to extract a pattern, loads the pattern into the pattern buffer, and accesses the data storage. The data engine searches a data subset from the data storage for instances of the pattern using a rolling window method. The controller generates a result from the search.“
