In a memory system with a file storage system, an optimal file handling scheme is adaptively selected from a group thereof based on the attributes of the file being handled. The file attributes may be obtained from a host or derived from a history of the file had with the memory system. In one embodiment, a scheme for allocating memory locations for a write operation is dependent on an estimated size of the file to be written. In another embodiment, a scheme for allocating memory locations for a relocation operation, such as for garbage collection or data compaction, is dependent on an estimated access frequency of the file in question. In this way, the optimal handling scheme can be used for the particular file at any time.

File operations on files in a peripheral system are controlled by an intelligent controller with a file processor. The files are accessed as if the intelligent controller were an addressable virtual storage space. This is accomplished first by communicating controller commands for the intelligent controller through read / write commands addressed to a Command Region of a virtual storage device. The controller commands set up a Mapped Data Region in the virtual storage device for use in controlling data transfer operations to and from the peripheral system. With the Mapped Data Regions set up, blocks of data are transferred between the host and the intelligent controller in response to read / write commands addressed to the Mapped Data Region of the virtual storage device.In an additional feature of the invention file operations are communicated between host and controller through a device driver at the host and a device emulator at the intelligent controller. If the address in the device write / read command is pointing to the Command Region of the virtual storage device, a Command Region process interprets and implements the controller operation required by the controller command embedded in the device write / read command. One of these controller commands causes the Command Region processor to map a requested file to a Mapped Data Region in the virtual storage device. If the address detected by the detecting operation is in a Mapped Data Region, a Mapped Data Region process is called. The Mapped Data Region process reads or writes requested data of a file mapped to the Mapped Data Region addressed by the read / write command. This mapped file read or write is accomplished as a transfer of data over a data path separate from a control path. In an additional feature of the invention, the data transfer between host system and intelligent controller is accomplished by performing a direct memory access transfer of data.

A system and method for establishing temporary electronic mail (e-mail) accounts is configured to operate with classified newspaper advertising. One of the aspects of the present invention is a file handling method that automates the process of establishing the e-mail accounts through interaction with a publisher's system for taking orders for classified advertisements. Typical newspaper classified advertising comprises two or three lines of text which provide only basic information about an item for sale.

The e-mail accounts would be used to receive inquiries about the item for sale. The e-mail account could be also be configured to auto-respond to each incoming message with additional descriptive information about the item being offered for sale. Responders could learn more about the item, and thereby avoid the necessity of calling the seller. Sellers, in turn, can avoid the problem of repeated phone calls to request additional information, and may also remain anonymous while responding to multiple inquiries.

A reconfigurable processing system executes instructions and configurations in parallel. Initially, a first instruction loads configurations into configuration registers. The configuration field of a subsequently fetched instruction selects a configuration register. The instruction controls and controls of the configuration in the selected configuration register are decoded and modified as specified by the instruction. The controls provide data operands to the execution units which process the operands and generate results. Scalar data, vector data, or a combination of scalar and vector data can be processed. The processing is controlled by instructions executed in parallel with configurations invoked by configuration fields within the instructions. Vectors are processed using a vector register file which stores vectors. A vector address unit identifies addresses of vector elements in the vector register file to be processed. For each vector, vector address units provide addresses which stride through each element of each vector.
