Abstract:
A storage system and method for soft-decision-based command execution to enhance random write performance are provided. In one embodiment, the storage system comprises a memory and a controller. The controller comprises a command parser and a set of components in a path between the command parser and the memory, wherein the command parser is configured to receive a plurality of commands from a host and determine an order in which to send the plurality of commands to the set of components based on feedback from the set of components. Other embodiments are provided.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for prioritizing commands in a storage system, the method comprising:\n performing the following in a command parser in a controller of a storage system, wherein the storage system comprises a memory, and wherein the controller further comprises a backend module, wherein the backend module is configured to perform logical-to-physical address translation based on a cached portion of a logical-to-physical address map stored in a cache:\n receiving a plurality of commands from a host; \n receiving feedback from the backend module, wherein the feedback comprises information about which logical addresses are included in the cached portion of the logical-to-physical address map; and \n determining, based on the feedback from the backend module, an order in which to send the plurality of commands to the backend module, such that a command having a logical address present in the cached portion of the logical-to-physical address map is given priority over a command having a logical address that is not contained in the cached portion of the logical-to-physical address map to avoid decreasing performance by reading another portion of the logical-to-physical address map from a location external to the cache.
