ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for synchronizing data retrieval is described. The apparatus comprises a storage media storing data, a storage control device coupled to the storage media for retrieving the data from the storage media, memory coupled to the storage control device for storing the data; and a scheduling unit coupled to the memory for scheduling retrieval of the data from the storage media before a specified time. A storage media for storing computer instructions is also described. The storage media comprises a first plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing a computer system to schedule retrieval of data from a storage device before a specified time, a second plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to retrieve the data from the storage device before the specified time has elapsed, a third plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to store the data from the storage device into memory, and a fourth plurality of processor executable instructions for instructing the computer system to process the data from the memory. A method for synchronizing data retrieval in a data processing system is also described. The method comprises determining a specified time for retrieving the data from a storage media, scheduling retrieval of the data from the storage media before the specified time, retrieving the data from the storage media before the specified time has elapsed, and processing the data from the storage media.
