PINNING CONTENT IN NONVOLATILE MEMORY

摘要

Systems and methods relating to pinning selected data to sectors in non-volatile memory. A graphical user interface allows a user to specify certain data (e.g., directories or files) to be pinned. A list of pinned sectors can be stored so that a driver or controller that operates on a sector basis and not a file or directory basis can identify data to be pinned.

1. A method comprising:
displaying at a graphical user interface (GUI) hit statistics and miss statistics corresponding to pinned sectors in a non-volatile memory (NVM) drive, wherein hit statistics correspond to pinned sectors and miss statistics correspond to sectors not pinned; receiving a list of files and applications selected by a user to be pinned or unpinned in the NVM drive, wherein the list of files and applications is selected by the user after displaying, the hit statistics and miss statistics; mapping the list of files to a list of disk sectors that are to be pinned or unpinned in the NVM drive; and pinning or unpinning the sectors corresponding to the list of disk sectors in the NVM drive.
