Memory e.g. random access memory, managing method for use in e.g. file allocation system, file system, involves translating access unit address into storage unit address, where storage unit size is different as access unit size

摘要

The method involves receiving a primitive operation indicating an access unit address. The access unit address is translated into storage unit address, where a storage unit size e.g. page size, is different as an access unit size, e.g. sector size. A storage device is accessed using the storage unit address for responding to the primitive operation. A retrieved storage unit appointed is buffered by the storage unit address. A portion of the retrieved storage unit is provided for responding the primitive operation. A storage unit corresponding to the access unit address is read into a buffer. An independent claim is also included for a memory management system comprising a data source.
