Application: Method and apparatus for executing structural query language instruction in solid-state storage device (Patent ID: US20240152516A1)
The patent filed by Silicon Motion Technology Corp. describes a method and apparatus for executing SQL instructions in a Solid-state Storage Device (SSD). The apparatus includes a processing unit and a database accelerator. The processing unit obtains an SQL query from a host side, while the database accelerator parses the query, reads tables from a flash module, generates intermediate tables, performs computations, and generates a final dataset to reply to the host side. The method involves parsing SQL queries, reading tables from flash modules, generating intermediate tables, performing computations, and replying to the host side with the final dataset.
The claims detail the specific steps involved in executing SQL instructions in an SSD, such as obtaining SQL queries, parsing them, reading and filtering tables, generating intermediate tables, performing computations, and replying to the host side. Additional features include sorting records, using proprietary communication protocols, communicating with the host side through various protocols, and communicating with the flash module using specific protocols. The apparatus includes a host interface, flash interface, random access memory, processing unit, and database accelerator, all working together to execute SQL instructions efficiently in an SSD. The apparatus also includes features like storing records in RAM, assigning logical block addresses, updating tables, and recycling physical space in the flash module.
