Abstract: One example method includes moving a volume from a source server to a target server. In one example, the volume is moved and the need to copy the source data is eliminated. The volume to be moved is selected and metadata associated with the save sets stored on the volume is exported to a volume bootstrap, which is also stored on the selected volume. The volume is mounted or attached to the target server and the metadata is imported from the volume bootstrap. The volume is made read/write and is moved from the source server to the target server.

Abstract: An electronic training system includes a set of external response sensors and a set of internal response sensors, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to track locomotion and body movements of a user from the set of external response sensors in a sporting event, and electrical brain activity and physiological changes in a body of the user from the set of internal response sensors in a sporting event. Tracked data in the sporting event is annotated as period-of-relevance and period-of-irrelevance. A first sports performance state is assigned to the user for the sporting event based on a combination of a user feedback and sports statistics. The control circuitry outputs a first integrated visual motion model on a display device based on annotated tracked data in the period-of-relevance such that the first sports performance state of the user for the sporting event is discernible by a viewer.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for protecting data in a memory of an integrated circuit (IC). A process token is obtained in a special purpose IC from a host that is external to and communicatively connected to the special purpose IC. The process token is stored in a first memory portion of the special purpose IC. In response to receiving a processing request from the host, the processing request is processed, and data generated by processing the processing request is written in a second memory portion of the special purpose IC. When a read request is received to read the data in the second memory portion, a determination is made whether the read request includes a read token that matches the previously stored process token. If the read token matches the process token, the data in the second memory portion may be returned to the host.
