Teradata Assigned Patent

Teradata US, Inc., Dayton, OH, has been assigned a patent (9,851,923) developed by Shank, Eric M., San Diego, CA, Cohen, Steven B., Redondo Beach, CA, Pederson, Donald, Benton, Philip J., Boggs, Gary Lee, Lam, Albert O., and Boyle, Wayne R., San Diego, CA, for a “management of data in multi-storage systems that can include non-volatile and volatile storages.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A combination of non-persistent-based and persistent-based schemes are used to effectively manage volatile storages which are conventionally managed solely by using non-persistent schemes, (e.g., LRU schemes in cache memory). Generally, the persistent-based schemes can be based on persistent information associated with a non-volatile storage environment, (e.g., persistent data temperatures associated with data stored in non-volatile storages). In this context, a persistent-based scheme can, for example, be effectively used in addition or combination with a conventional scheme provided for volatile memory. By way of example, a LRU scheme can be combined with a scheme based on persistent data temperatures in order to more effectively manage cache memory provided to enhance the performance of a system. As another example, a LRU, a LFU aging schemes can be combined with a scheme based on persistent data temperatures.”
