Abstract: Systems and methods for data storage device firmware updates in a composable infrastructure are described. Recomposition of a system in a composable infrastructure may include downloading a firmware update to a data storage device, activating the firmware update in the data storage device, and receiving a reset command at the data storage device. The reset command may include a step to flush a virtual-to-physical (V2P) mapping table from a volatile memory in the data storage device to non-volatile memory devices in the data storage device. Responsive to a flag that is set and the received reset command, the data storage device may forgo the step of flushing the V2P mapping table.

Abstract: Traditional approaches for recommending optimum combination of quantum circuits are experimentation based approaches, and require manual efforts or are cumbersome, effort intensive and iterative processes. Method and system disclosed herein generally relates to quantum experimentation, and, more particularly, for recommending optimum combination of quantum circuits. In this approach, a high-level combination of experiments are initially generated, which are further prioritized using a graph based approach, which then forms a training data. The training data is then used for generating a GNN data model, which is further used for recommending optimum combination of quantum circuits.

A management module receives a secure-erase command to erase at least one nonvolatile memory block, determines health parameters of the nonvolatile memory block, calculates a failure index based on the health parameters, and, based on the failure index, either securely erases the block of memory or retires the nonvolatile memory block.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storage operation processing during data migration using selective block migrated notifications are disclosed. A host system may be configured with connections to a source storage node and a destination storage node while a data migration is moving data blocks from the source to the destination. The host may send a storage request to the source storage node and receive a block migrated notification from the source storage node. The host may then store a migrated indicator for that data block in a migration table and direct future storage requests to the destination storage node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributed storage systems using synchronous discovery logs for fabric subsystem discovery. Storage nodes may be configured with fabric services and a management service may provide synchronization of discovery logs across fabric subsystems and between peer fabric nodes. The peer fabric nodes may communicate with one another using a fabric network protocol and corresponding fabric subsystems may communicate with each peer fabric node. When a target subsystem fabric node updates its discovery log, the updated discovery log is sent to the corresponding peer fabric node. The corresponding peer fabric node sends the updated discovery log to each subsystem fabric node and to each peer fabric node for synchronization across all subsystem fabric nodes. A host may contact any subsystem fabric node for the updated discovery log.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products implementing hierarchical classification techniques are disclosed. A hierarchical classification system receives training data including labeled transaction records. The system determines tag sequences from the training data. The system clusters the tag sequences into clusters. The system determines a cluster-level classifier that is trained to predict a cluster for an input transaction record.

The system trains the cluster-specific classifier to predict a label of entity of interest for an input transaction record, given a particular cluster. Upon receiving a test transaction record, the system first applies the cluster-level classifier to determine a particular cluster for the test transaction record, and then determines a label of entity of interest of the test transaction record by applying a cluster-specific classifier of that particular cluster.

Abstract: Systems and methods for capped allocation of storage resources based on connection type are described. A new storage connection request from a host system to a group of data storage devices includes a connection type, such as a remote direct memory access connection or transmission control protocol connection. Based on the connection type, a subset of a pool of allocated storage resources for that connection type is determined. If the new connection request does not exceed the maximum number of connections allocated to the subset, a new storage connection is established. If the new connection request exceeds the maximum number of connections allocated to the subset, the new storage connection request fails.
