By Francis Pelletier | May 24, 2019 at 2:45 pmNGD Systems, Inc., Irvine, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,268,420) developed by Alcantara, Joao, Irvine, CA, Cassia, Ricardo, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, Souri, Kamyar, San Jose, CA, Alves, Vladimir, Tustin, CA, and Lu, Guangming, Irvine, CA, for “system and method for consistent performance in a storage device.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A system and method for providing consistent performance in a storage device, such as a solid state drive. A threshold value for command execution time for a command in a category of command, (e.g., a read command or a write command) and a command size, is stored in the storage device. When a host command in the category, (e.g., a read command) and corresponding size is received, the storage device executes the command, and if it completes execution of the command in a time that is less than the threshold value, the solid state drive waits until an amount of time equal to the threshold value has elapsed before sending the command completion.”
The patent application was filed on April 10, 2018 (15/949,814).
