Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of data storage, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for reading a solid state disk.

Background

In the big data era, the storage of mass data is more and more important, and the storage and reading speed of data is always the system bottleneck when the speed of computing components such as a CPU (central processing unit) is higher and higher. At present, with the gradual decline of the price of NAND flash (flash memory medium), the use amount of solid state disks also rises year by year.

Different from a traditional hard disk, a storage unit of a solid state hard disk is NAND, and the reading of the NAND is divided into two steps: 1. reading a page register (page register) inside the NAND from a physical unit (data block) of the NAND; 2. transfer from page register to DDR. The whole process takes about 70us of time, with about 50us required for reading from a physical cell to a page register and about 10us required for DMA to DDR from a NAND page register. It can be seen that the time spent from the cell to the page register is a large overhead, resulting in a slow read response speed.

Aiming at the problem of low read response speed of the solid state disk in the prior art, no effective solution is available at present.

The storage medium may be a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a read-only memory (ROM), a Random Access Memory (RAM), or the like. Embodiments of the computer program may achieve the same or similar effects as any of the preceding method embodiments to which it corresponds.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: in response to two read requests respectively requesting to read data blocks located on the same logical layer, the two read requests are sent to the nand gate flash memory processor to respectively perform the two read requests.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: one of the two read requests is sent to the nand gate flash memory processor to execute the read request in response to the two read requests respectively requesting to read the data block located on the same logical layer.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises: after one of the two read requests is sent to the nand gate flash memory processor to execute the read request, a next new read request is also obtained to iteratively determine whether the data blocks requested to be read by the other of the two read requests and the next new read request are located on the same logical layer or different logical layers of the solid state disk respectively.

In some embodiments, each data block in the solid state disk is assigned to a different logical layer based on its identification.

In some embodiments, loading data in the data block into the page register occupies a first duration of the page register; and transmitting the data in the page register to a second time length of the internal memory occupied by the internal memory, wherein the second time length is less than the first time length.

The following further illustrates embodiments of the invention in terms of specific examples.

The invention determines two read operations in different planes (logic layers) as two read operations in different planes by an FTL (flash translation layer), combines the two read operations into a read request and sends the read request to a back-end NAND processing module, the NAND processing module adopts a combined mode to read the read operations in two different planes by occupying a time from a data block to a page register, and then serially completes DMA (direct memory access) operation. This can improve the efficiency of the NAND processing module, reduce the read operation occupation time, and finally improve the read performance.

As shown in fig. 2, first, the FTL determines whether two consecutive read requests are located in different planes; if so, the two read requests are combined into one request and sent to the NAND processing module. And when the NAND processing module judges that the two planes are read, the read commands are sent to the NAND according to the sequence of the plane-0/plane-1. Probabilistically, the probability of two consecutive read operations on different planes is 50%, on the basis of which the FCC processing time can be reduced by about 40%.

As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, in the solid state disk reading method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, two consecutive read requests are obtained, and the flash translation layer of the solid state disk determines whether the data blocks requested to be read by the two read requests are located on the same logic layer or different logic layers of the solid state disk, respectively; merging two read requests into a composite read request in response to the two read requests respectively requesting to read data blocks located on different logical layers; loading data in two corresponding data blocks of the solid state disk to page registers of different logic layers in parallel by the NAND gate flash memory processor based on the composite read request; the technical scheme of serially transmitting the data in the page registers of the two logic layers to the internal memory to complete the reading operation of the solid state disk can improve the reading response speed and the performance of the reading operation of the solid state disk.
