TRANSFER OF FILES OVER A NETWORK WHILE STILL BEING WRITTEN

摘要

An apparatus and a computer program product for accelerating network data transfer are provided. At a source node, data chunks representing a file are successively received in a non-volatile memory. The file is written at a source node to a non-volatile memory. During the write, a file transfer is effected in which data chunks are transmitted over a network via a transceiver at the source node to a destination node. At least a portion of the reading and transmission occur during the write.

主权项

1. An apparatus for file transfers, comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit data over a network; a non-volatile memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
write a file comprising a plurality of data chunks to the non-volatile memory;read the data chunks from the non-volatile memory during a time the write operation is in progress; andtransfer the file to a destination node, comprising causing the transceiver to transmit the data chunks over the network to the destination node during a time the write operation is in progress, wherein at least a portion of the data chunks are transmitted prior to completion of the write.
