Daisy Chain Storage Latency Determination

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-determining latency values for each storage node in the daisy chain during system initialization or configuration. The master controller stores these pre-calculated latency values and uses them directly when managing memory access, eliminating the need for complex real-time scheduling algorithms. This approach maintains system reliability through proper buffer management while significantly reducing latency by using predetermined timing information.

The patent extracts the complex scheduling algorithm from the system and replaces it with a simpler latency-based management approach. By removing the need for complex real-time scheduling and using predetermined latency values instead, the system maintains reliability through proper buffer management while significantly reducing control mechanism complexity. The master controller simply uses the pre-determined latency values to manage memory access without requiring sophisticated scheduling logic.

The patent applies parameter changes by using pre-determined latency values as a new parameter to control memory access timing. Instead of relying on large buffer sizes and complex scheduling, the system changes the approach to use fixed latency parameters that are calculated in advance. This allows the system to maintain reliability with smaller buffers while reducing the time lost to buffer management overhead, as the predetermined latency values provide clear timing guidance for data transfer operations.
