Method and apparatus for determining load of input/output command in input/output subsystem
First Claim
1. A method for determining the load of a data transfer command in a system for transferring data to/from a disk sector according to a data transfer command provided from a disk driver, comprising:
- (a) extracting the data transfer commands for transferring the data to/from the disk sector from the disk driver, and generating a set of data transfer commands from the data transfer commands;
(b) analyzing the load feature of the extracted data transfer command based on the generated set of data transfer commands; and
(c) determining whether the load of the data transfer command corresponds to a multimedia application based on the analyzed load feature of the data transfer command.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining the load of an input/output command in an input/output subsystem are provided. The method for determining the load of an input/output command in a system for inputting/outputting data to/from a disk sector according to an input/output command provided from a disk driver includes: (a) extracting the input/output commands for inputting/outputting the data to/from the disk sector from the disk driver and generating a set of input/output commands from the input/output commands; (b) analyzing the load feature of the input/output command based on the set of input/output commands; and (c) determining whether the load of the input/output command corresponds to a multimedia application based on the load feature of the input/output command.

11. An apparatus for determining the load of a data transfer command in a system for transferring data to/from a disk sector according to an data transfer command provided from a disk driver, comprising:
-
an extracting unit which extracts the data transfer command for transferring the data to/from the disk sector from the disk driver and generates a set of data transfer commands from the extracted data transfer command;
an analyzing unit which analyzes the load feature of the extracted data transfer command based on the generated set of data transfer commands; and
a determining unit which determines whether the load of the data transfer command corresponds to a multimedia application based on the analyzed load feature of the data transfer command. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
