Abstract

A storage processor particularly suited to RAID systems provides high throughput for applications such as streaming video data. An embodiment is configured as an ASIC with a high degree of parallelism in its interconnections. The communications architecture provides saturation of user data pathways with low complexity and low latency by employing multiple memory channels under software control, an efficient parity calculation mechanism and other features.
