Abstract
An apparatus for synchronizing data retrieval is described. The apparatus comprises a storage media storing data, a storage control device coupled to the storage media for retrieving the data from the storage media, memory coupled to the storage control device for storing the data; and a scheduling unit coupled to the memory for scheduling retrieval of the data from the storage media before a specified time. A storage media for storing computer instructions is also described. The storage media comprises a first plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing a computer system to schedule retrieval of data from a storage device before a specified time, a second plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to retrieve the data from the storage device before the specified time has elapsed, a third plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to store the data from the storage device into memory, and a fourth plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to process the data from the memory. A method for synchronizing data retrieval in a data processing system …
