Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of IO requests. A portion of the plurality of IO requests may be aggregated based upon a block size. The portion of the plurality of IO requests may be committed to persistent storage in a batch based upon, at least in part, aggregating the portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon the block size.

Claims (26)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of input/output (IO) requests;

aggregating a portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon a block size, including selecting the portion of the plurality of IO requests to obtain a desired block size of aggregated requests by selecting at least one IO request from different lists based upon an IO size of each respective IO request until the desired block size of the aggregated requests is reached; and

committing the portion of the plurality of IO requests to persistent storage in a batch using only full blocks based upon, at least in part, aggregating the portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon the desired block size of the aggregated requests, wherein in a state of committing pages from all the aggregated requests, a transaction of each of the respective IO request for the aggregated portion of the plurality of IO requests is locked separately.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of IO requests is organized using multiple techniques.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein a first technique to organize the plurality of IO requests includes listing each of the plurality of IO requests in an order received.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein a second technique to organize the plurality of IO requests includes separately listing each of the plurality of IO requests based upon the IO size of each respective IO request of the plurality of IO requests.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein aggregating the portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon the block size includes selecting a largest IO request closest in size to the block size.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein each of the plurality of IO requests is organized per core.

7. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed across one or more processors, causes at least a portion of the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a plurality of input/output (IO) requests;

aggregating a portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon a block size, including selectingtheportionofthepluralityofIOrequeststoobtainadesiredblocksizeof aggregated requests by selecting at least one IO request from different lists based upon an IO size of each respective IO request until the desired block size of the aggregated requests is reached; and

committing the portion of the plurality of IO requests to persistent storage in a batch using only full blocks based upon, at least in part, aggregating the portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon the desired block size of the aggregated requests, wherein in a state of committing pages from all the aggregated requests, a transaction of each of the respective IO request for the aggregated portion of the plurality of IO requests is locked separately.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 wherein each of the plurality of IO requests is organized using multiple techniques.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein a first technique to organize the plurality of IO requests includes listing each of the plurality of IO requests in an order received.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein a second technique to organize the plurality of IO requests includes separately listing each of the plurality of IO requests based upon the IO size of each respective IO request of the plurality of IO requests.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 wherein aggregating the portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon the block size includes selecting a largest IO request closest in size to the block size.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein each of the plurality of IO requests is organized per core.

13. A computing system including one or more processors and one or more memories configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving a plurality of input/output (IO) requests;

aggregating a portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon a block size, including selecting the portion of the plurality of IO requests to obtain a desired block size of aggregated requests by selecting at least one IO request from different lists based upon an IO size of each respective IO request until the desired block size of the aggregated requests is reached; and

committing the portion of the plurality of IO requests to persistent storage in a batch using only full blocks based upon, at least in part, aggregating the portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon the desired block size of the aggregated requests, wherein in a state of committing pages from all the aggregated requests, a transaction of each of the respective IO request for the aggregated portion of the plurality of IO requests is locked separately.

14. The computing system of claim 13 wherein each of the plurality of IO requests is organized using multiple techniques.

15. The computing system of claim 14 wherein a first technique to organize the plurality of IO requests includes listing each of the plurality of IO requests in an order received and wherein a second technique to organize the plurality of IO requests includes separately listing each of the plurality of IO requests based upon the IO size of each respective IO request of the plurality of IO requests.

16. The computing system of claim 15 wherein aggregating the portion of the plurality of IO requests based upon the block size includes selecting a largest IO request closest in size to the block size.

17. The computing system of claim 14 wherein each of the plurality of IO requests is organized per core.
