Abstract: The invention introduces a method for verifying memory interface, performed by a processing unit, to include: driving a physical layer of a memory interface to pull-high or pull-low a signal voltage on each Input-Output (IO) pin thereof to a preset level according to a setting; obtaining a verification result corresponding to each IO pin from the memory interface; and storing each verification result in a static random access memory (SRAM), thereby enabling a testing host to obtain each verification result of the SRAM through a test interface. The testing host may examine each verification result to know whether any unexpected error has occurred in signals on the IO pins of the memory interface.

Abstract: An apparatus with a housing which stores a plurality of data storage magazines, where each data storage magazine includes a plurality of data storage devices. The housing includes a movable carriage, the movable carriage configured to selectively couple a set of data storage devices held by a particular data storage magazine to a host device. The housing also includes a motor configured to move the movable carriage within the housing to enable the movable carriage to communicatively couple the set of data storage devices held by the particular data storage magazine to the host device.

Abstract: A processing device includes: casing; a processor in the casing; and a management board detachably mounted on the casing and manages the processor. The casing includes a memory storing therein first identification data to identify the casing. The management board includes a non-volatile memory storing therein second identification data of the casing mounting thereon the management board and second setting data to be referred by firmware, a portable recording medium being detachably mounted on the management board and storing therein third identification data of the casing mounting thereon the management board that mounts thereon the portable recording medium and third setting data to be referred by firmware, and a determiner. The determiner determines, using the first, second, and third identification data, whether the non-volatile memory or the portable recording medium stores setting data to be referred by the firmware operating on the management board.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for redirecting internet relay chat (IRC) traffic identified utilizing a port-independent algorithm and controlling IRC based malware. In use, IRC traffic communicated via a network is identified utilizing a port-independent algorithm. Furthermore, the IRC traffic is redirected to a honeypot.

Abstract: A volatile or nonvolatile cache memory can cache mass storage device read data and write data. The cache memory may become inaccessible, and I/O operations may go directly to the mass storage device, bypassing the cache memory. A log of write operations may be maintained to update the cache memory when it becomes available.

Abstract: A method and system for annotating an object on the graphical user interface (GUI) (“a GUI object”) during automated testing of an application. In one embodiment, the GUI of an application is tested with a test automation tool. During runtime of the automated test, the test automation tool automatically overlays a visual cue on the GUI. The visual cue points to a GUI object of the application and contains a comment regarding an event relating to the GUI object that is expected to occur in runtime.

Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for error resolution in a computing system that includes a health module. The health module monitors components of the system for runtime errors and provides error resolution templates. The error resolution templates include metadata that specifies actions that may resolve the error and error handlers corresponding to the actions that may correct the error. The system may be extended by the addition and/or modification of the error resolution templates. The error resolution templates may also be used to facilitate the correction of runtime errors in the system.

Abstract: Methods for automatically identifying and classifying a crisis state occurring in a system having a plurality of computer resources. Signals are received from a device that collects the signals from each computer resource in the system. For each epoch, an epoch fingerprint is generated. Upon detecting a performance crisis within the system, a crisis fingerprint is generated consisting of at least one epoch fingerprint. The technology is able to identify that a performance crisis has previously occurred within the datacenter if a generated crisis fingerprint favorably matches any of the model crisis fingerprints stored in a database. The technology may also predict that a crisis is about to occur.

Abstract: A method of encoding data operates on an ordered set of input symbols and includes generating redundant symbols from the input symbols, and includes generating output symbols from a combined set of symbols including the input symbols and the redundant symbols, wherein the number of possible output symbols is much larger than the number of the combined set of symbols, wherein at least one output symbol is generated from more than one symbol in the combined set of symbols and from less than all of the symbols in the combined set of symbols. The redundant symbols are generated from an ordered set of input symbols in a deterministic process such that a first set of static symbols calculated using a first input symbol has a low common membership with a second set of static symbols calculated using a second input symbol distinct from the first input symbol.

Abstract: A method for operating a memory that includes a plurality of analog memory cells includes storing data in a first group of the memory cells by writing respective first cell values to the memory cells in the first group. After storing the data, respective second cell values are read from the memory cells in the first group, and differences are found between the respective first and second cell values for each of one or more of the memory cells in the first group. The differences are processed to produce error information, and the error information is stored in a second group of the memory cells.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention involves a system and method to continuously log correctable errors without rebooting by changing the granularity of the error detection and logging mechanism. A mask register is used to identify which errors are to be logged. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
