By Francis Pelletier | April 17, 2019 at 2:32 pmConcurrent Ventures, LLC, Johns Creek, GA, has been assigned a patent (10,235,096) developed by Beeson, Jesse D., Johns Creek, GA, and Yates, Jesse B., Atlanta, GA, for “a system and method for dynamically load balancing storage media devices based on an average or discounted average sustained performance level.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A storage controller controlling a plurality of storage media devices receives one or more commands from a queue representing a load, identifies a first set of weighted storage region having a slow access rate in the plurality of storage media devices and a second set of weighted storage regions having a fast access rate in the plurality of storage media devices, computes an optimal sustained performance level as function of the first set of weighted storage regions having the slow access rate and the second set of weighted storage regions having the fast access rate, and distributes load based on said computed optimal sustained performance level.”
The patent application was filed on December 6, 2013 (14/099,846).
