Patents by Inventor Seth R. Greenspan

Seth R. Greenspan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9619166
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to controlling a temperature of a solid state memory device using queue depth management by monitoring an operating temperature of each of a plurality of solid state drives of the solid state memory device. Based on a determination that the operating temperature of one of the plurality of solid state drives exceeds local device threshold values, the method includes receiving an indication that one or more local measures have been taken by the solid state memory device. Based on a determination that the operating temperature of one of the plurality of solid state drives exceeds a secondary global threshold value, the method includes reducing a queue length for the solid state memory device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2017
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION

  • Publication number: 20160188254
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to lifecycle management of solid state memory adaptors. Aspects of the invention include monitoring a remaining life of each of a plurality of solid state memory adaptors in a system and creating a log of a wearing of each of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors. Aspects further include transmitting the log to a service element and receiving a supplemental data from the service element and determining a threshold value for each of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors. Based on determining that the remaining life of one of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors is below the threshold value for the one of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors, aspects also include creating a service call to request that the one of the solid state memory adaptors be replaced.
