Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and method for scheduling requests for data transfers in a multi-device storage system. In some embodiments, a system includes at least one server coupled to a pool of storage devices to transfer data from the storage devices to client devices responsive to requests. A request scheduler is adapted to receive into a memory a plurality of requests each having a service identifier (ID) and a payload size, to set a deadline for each request responsive to the service ID and the payload size, to forward the requests to the server for processing in an order based on service ID and, responsive to the deadline being reached for a selected request, to advance the selected request for immediate processing by the server.
