Title: Enhanced low overhead data protection in data storage drives
Inventor: MARTIN HASSNER
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2016-09-15
Abstract: This application is for a new way of monitoring the quality of a write process to a storage medium that uses shingled magnetic recording (SMR), or a perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR). The quality is measured using position error signal (PES) metrics, and can be the number of squeezed sectors per track, distance between adjacent tracks or the accuracy of the write. The invention works by the host system 340 sending a write operation to a storage controller 321, which monitors the PES values and writes the data to a cold storage area 325 of the storage medium 322. If the quality falls below a threshold, then a data protection node determines an enhanced error correction code (ECC), which is written to the ECC area of the storage medium. When the data is read back the enhanced ECC is used to compensate for the quality of the write, and correct the data.

Title: Method for handling exceptions in exception-driven system
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER PHILIP SMITH
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2016-04-28
Abstract: A method of processing exceptions in an exception-driven computer system includes, upon exception detection logic detecting an exception has occurred, setting a program counter to a different memory address to invoke an exception handler. When the system is operating in an initialisation mode 402 the exception detection logic runs an exception handler 406 that causes an exception unit to save a main register set before processing the interrupt, and restore it afterwards. When in exception-driven mode 412, the exception detection logic invokes an exception handler 416 that does not cause the execution unit to save and restore the registers. The exception detection logic may be initially configured to invoke the first exception handler and is dynamically updated when the system switches from initialisation mode to exception-driven mode to invoke the second exception handler. The method can be implemented in a radio processing unit, also known as a baseband processor.
