Wiwynn Assigned Patent
Processing of data redundancy and computer
By Francis Pelletier | December 25, 2020 at 2:10 pmWiwynn Corporation, New Taipei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (10,838,895) developed by Yu, Pei-Ling, Hsu, Chia-Liang, and, Syu, Bing-Kun, New Taipei, Taiwan, for “processing method of data redundancy and computer system thereof.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A processing method of data redundancy is utilized for a Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) to transfer data via a fabric channel from a host terminal to a Remote-direct-memory-access-enable Network Interface Controller (RNIC) and a Just a Bunch of Flash (JBOF). The processing method comprises virtualizing a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of the RNIC into a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and storing the data to the DRAM, replicating or splitting the data into a plurality of data packets and reporting a plurality of virtual memory addresses corresponding to the plurality of data packets to the RNIC by the FPGA, and reading and transmitting the plurality of data packets to a plurality of corresponding NVMe controllers according to the plurality of virtual memory addresses, wherein the FPGA reports to the RNIC that a memory size of the FPGA is larger than that of the DRAM.”
The patent application was filed on April 11, 2018 (15/951,117).
