However, at the end of any sequential write process and during any modification of data in place, it is not possible to write a complete stripe and the technique of Read-Modify-Write must be employed.
The fully OpenGL compliant ALU eliminates the need for read-modify-write (RMW) operations between the rendering controller and the frame buffer.
Northwest Logic also provides separate ECC, Read-Modify-Write, and Multi-Port Front-End add-on modules to enable each design to be optimally configured.
However, instead of employing RAID5's read-modify-write process, which degrades write performance, SyncRAID implements an on-the-fly exclusive/OR (XOR) approach so that parity calculations can occur at the maximum rate of the disk drive's input/output (I/O) for both reads and writes, in parallel.
Its "on-the-fly" hardware exclusive-OR (XOR) engine eliminates the traditional read-modify-write sequence associated with mainstream striped-parity RAID engines and effectively doubles performance as compared to RAID 5 cards in similar applications, for example, at as little as one-seventh the cost.
SyncRAID technology doubles the performance of traditional enterprise-class RAID systems by eliminating the read-modify-write bottleneck traditionally required in RAID high-reliability mode.
