摘要： A directory structure for a sparsely filled data container comprises a linked list, doubly linked list, skip list, or other non-fully populated list technique. One or more hierarchical levels of such lists may be used for sparsely filled directories. The directory structure may be converted to a conventional look-up table directory by reconstructing the directory when the directory becomes populated to certain point.

摘要： Method and apparatus for performing distributed processing in a multi-processing unit environment. A first processing unit modifies a complex operation to provide an operational request packet comprising a corresponding simplex operation and remainder. The packet is communicated to a second processing unit which processes the packet to arrive at a result for the complex operation, preferably by arriving at a result for the simplex operation and combining this result with the remainder. In this way, inter-processor operations can be efficiently encoded and distributed to meet the requirements of a given architecture. Preferably, the first processing unit determines the remainder by separately arriving at the result for the complex operation. The complex operation is preferably characterized as a mathematical operation on a non-power of two operand (e.g., 30), and the simplex operation is characterized as a mathematical operation on a power of two operand (e.g., 32).

摘要： Metadata architecture and associated methodology for a data storage system employing a grid-based storage capacity wherein each grid defines a storage unit in terms of a plurality of storage domains along one axis against one or more rows of a plurality of storage stripes along another axis, and wherein a grid grouping of two or more grids defines a sheet of data storage capacity. The metadata comprises identification information stored in a memory space characterizing an allocation status of the sheets in the storage capacity. A method is provided for allocating memory for the grid-based storage capacity comprising determining whether the allocation is associated with an existing logical device. If the determining step is associated with an existing logical device, then a logical device allocation map and a sheet allocation table are accessed to allocate a selected storage unit. Otherwise, a sheet allocation descriptor and a sheet allocation map are accessed to allocate a selected storage unit. A method is provided for transferring data for the grid-based storage capacity comprising accessing a logical device allocation map and a drive organization table to transfer data to or from a selected storage unit.
