  • Publication number: 20190171382
    Abstract: Techniques for performing compression operations on persistently-stored data blocks during read/write commands. A method embodiment performs in-line data compression operations over data blocks referenced by a caller. The in-line data compression operations are performed during execution of a storage input-output (I/O) command, between the event of receipt of the storage I/O command and the event of returning status of the storage I/O command. The storage I/O operation is associated with at least one data group comprising one or more data blocks that are identified by the caller. Upon receipt of the storage I/O command, one or more compression rules are applied to the data blocks to determine one or more compression parameters, which compression parameters are used to form specific compression operations that are performed over at least a portion of the data group. The status pertaining to the execution of the storage I/O operation is returned to the caller.

  • Publication number: 20190138247
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling storage management tasks over predicted user tasks in a distributed storage system. A method commences upon receiving a set of historical stimulus records that characterize management tasks that are run in the storage system. A corresponding set of historical response records comprising system metrics associated with execution of the system tasks is also received. A learning model is formed from the stimulus records and the response records and formatted to be used as a predictor. A set of forecasted user tasks is input as new stimulus records to the predictor to determine a set of forecasted system metrics that would result from running the forecasted user tasks. Management tasks are selected so as not to impact the forecasted user tasks. Management tasks can be selected based on non-contentions resource usage between historical management task resource usage and predictions of resource usage by the user tasks.

  • Patent number: 10198332
    Abstract: Methods and systems for checking the integrity of a system on chip (SOC) are described. The SOC can include a controller and one or more registers. Register value(s) from the register(s) can be obtained at a first time to generate a first set of register values. Process(es) of the SOC are executed at a second time after the first time. Register values can again be obtained from the registers at a third time after the second time to generate a second set of register values. The first set of register values can be compared with the second set of register values. Based on the comparison, an operating mode of the SOC can be adjusted. The SOC integrity verification system and method can be used in safety and/or monitoring application(s), such as ASIL applications. For example, the system and method can be used in partial or fully autonomous (self-driving) automotive systems.
