Abstract: Systems and methods for natural language processing (NLP) and mapping of redundant array of independent disks (RAID) command line interface (CLI) requests to virtual storage area network (VSAN) commands by an out-of-band management platform are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor, a baseband management controller (BMC) coupled to the processor, and a memory coupled to the BMC, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the BMC, cause the IHS to: receive a RAID-CLI request, map the RAID-CLI request into a vSAN command using NLP, and transmit the vSAN command to the processor.

Abstract: In vSAN (virtual Storage Area Network) systems, pooled storage resources may be organized into logical disk groups. One drive of a disk group may be designated for caching storage operations directed at the remaining drives of the disk group that provide permanent storage. Each cache drive is partitioned into an allocation for read operations and an allocation for write operations. Embodiments provide the vSAN system with use of virtual cache that is backed by the cache drives of each disk group in the vSAN system. Embodiments adjust the cache memory allocations for individual cache drives of each disk group, while utilizing the virtual cache that adheres to a fixed cache allocation ratio required by the vSAN system. The number and type of cache misses by each of the individual cache drives is monitored and used to adjust the sizes of the read and write cache allocations in each cache drive.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor, one or more storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor, including at least one of the one or more storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via a storage interface, and a basic input/output system (BIOS) comprising a program of instructions executable by the processor and configured to cause the processor to initialize one or more information handling resources of the information handling system. The BIOS may be further configured to, in response to a request to perform a firmware update to the one or more storage resources, scan for storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface, register unique identifiers associated with the storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface, and perform a firmware update of the storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface based on the unique identifiers.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing security checks at a self-checkout kiosk in a retail store. The customers can create lists of items for purchase as they shop. When a customer is ready to pay, his list can be divided into sub-lists. Each sub-list can include items that require the same type of security check. The customer can then be provided with the sub-lists and an instruction for each sub-list that explains how the customer should arrange the items on the sub-list for a security check. After the customer has properly arranged the items on a sub-list, the relevant security check can be performed.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that perform spreadout regularization to enable learning of a multi-class classification model in the federated setting, where each user has access to the positive data associated with only a limited number of classes (e.g., a single class). Examples of such settings include decentralized training of face recognition models or speaker identification models, where in addition to the user specific facial images and voice samples, the class embeddings for the users also constitute sensitive information that cannot be shared with other users.

Abstract: A server EHR executing on a server computing device is in communication with a client EHR executing on a first client computing device, and receives a prescription authorization from the client EHR, the prescription authorization based on input received from an authorized clinician user of the client EHR during performance of a clinical subtask of a prescription ordering task. The server EHR assigns a non-clinical subtask of the prescription ordering task to a non-clinician user operating a client application executing on a second client computing device. The non-clinician user provides input to the client application that pertains to completion of the non-clinical subtask. The client application transmits prescription ordering data to the server EHR, whereupon the server EHR outputs a prescription order to a second server computing device associated with a pharmacy indicated in the prescription ordering data.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure provides systems and methods for performing machine learning in hyperbolic space. Specifically, techniques are provided which enable the learning of a classifier (e.g., large-margin classifier) for data defined within a hyperbolic space (e.g., which may be particularly beneficial for data that possesses a hierarchical structure).

Identifications for items may be selected based on confidence factors, price thresholds, and customer information.

Abstract: A method for providing context based artefact access to tenants of a cloud computing system includes receiving a request to access an artefact deployed on the cloud computing system. The request includes a tenant identifier and an artefact identifier. Context data associated with the artefact is determined based on the tenant identifier. Context data associated with the artefact is retrieved from an artefact repository stored in a database of the cloud computing system. Access to the artefact is provided based on the retrieved context data associated with the artefact on a device associated with the tenant.

Abstract: Aspects relate to a framework for utilizing a single API request to manage the creation of consistent snapshots for a set of volumes attached an individual instance in a distributed computing environment. Responsive to receipt of an API request identifying the instance, the multi-volume snapshot service identifies a set of volumes attached to the identified instance. The identified set of volumes can be processed or filtered to eliminate specific volumes or types of volumes, such as boot volumes. In the event that any snapshot creation attempt fails, the multi-volume snapshot service fails the API request and can delete any snapshot data generated prior to the failure.

Abstract: A system includes a virtual machine to transmit an input/output request to a data storage system and a hypervisor configured to maintain a map of the virtual machine to a virtual disk, wherein the virtual disk is a slice of a persistent storage device. A virtual machine server is configured to maintain a map of the virtual disk to a start address and an end address and to update the input/output request with the start address, the end address, and a virtual disk identifier associated with the virtual machine. A processor determines whether the start address and the end address are valid, and if the start address and the end address are valid, then process the input/output request. The response is transmitted to the input/output request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to implement a metadata record migration system that schedules the migrations of metadata records that are frequently mutated. In embodiments, the scheduler collects timing data of jobs that modify the metadata records, including the timing of various mutation operations within the jobs. In embodiments, when it is determined that a metadata record is to be migrated to a different storage location, the scheduler determines a time to migrate the metadata record. The migration time may lie within a migration window, selected based on an expected migration time needed for the metadata record and the collected time data in order to reduce a probability that record mutations will occur during the migration. In embodiments, the jobs may be snapshot jobs that modify a snapshot record, and the migration may be performed as a result of a cell partitioning operation occurring within the snapshotting system.
