Title: Methods for managing virtual partitionings of a storage unit
Inventor: IAN KING
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2020-05-12
Abstract: Managing a plurality of virtual partitionings of a storage unit comprising a plurality of portions, each virtual partitionings allotting none, one, or more than one said portions to each of at least two types of data for temporarily storing said types of data for a plurality of tasks. This management comprises configuring each of the plurality of virtual partitionings with a default configuration in which a certain number of portions of the storage unit is allotted to a first of the at least two types of data. If it is subsequently determined that a task of the plurality of tasks requires more than the default guaranteed number of portions of the storage unit to be allocated for storing the second type of data prior to execution of the task, a number of the virtual partitionings are temporarily configured so that they each allot a number of portions of the storage unit to the first type of data. Once the task has been executed, the one or more virtual partitionings are returned to the corresponding default configuration.
