The monitoring component monitors a service processor that controls one or more functions for a data storage system. The monitoring component also generates trend data indicative of trend information for the service processor. The interpretation component performs one or more actions associated with the data storage system in response to a determination that the trend data satisfies a set of defined criteria associated with monitored conditions for the data storage system.

Abstract: A multiplexor for an Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit (I3C) network includes a switch, a snooper, and an I3C slave module coupled to an I3C master interface. The switch selectably couples I3C busses to the I3C master interface. Each I3C bus incudes I3C slave interfaces. The selected I3C bus is the active bus, and the non-selected I3C busses are inactive buses. The snooper detects In-Band Interrupts (IBIs) from the I3C slave interfaces coupled to the inactive buses. When the snooper receives a first IBI on an inactive bus, the snooper provides an indication. The I3C slave module provides a second IBI to the I3C master interface in response to the indication.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for broadcasting transactions, inside a network-on-chip (NoC), from a master to multiple slaves and for receiving responses. The transactions originate from a master and are send, using the NoC, to broadcast adapters using a special range of addresses. The broadcast adapters receive the transactions from the master. The broadcast adapters duplicate the transactions and send the duplicated transaction to multiple slaves. The slaves send a response, which is transported back by the NoC to the corresponding master.

Abstract: A flit-based packetization approach is used for transmitting information between electronic components. A protocol stack can generate transaction layer packets from information received from a transmitting device, assemble the transaction layer packets into one or more flits, and protect the flits with a flit-level cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scheme. The assembled flits can be transmitted across one or more serial point-to-point interconnects in a link connecting the transmitting device to a receiving device. The protocol stack can protect flit information sent across each point-to-point interconnect with a lane-level interleaved forward error correction (FEC) scheme.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for artificial intelligence-based storage monitoring. In an example, a system determines structured and unstructured attributes of a folder in a file system and provides them to an trained artificial intelligence model that outputs whether the folder is interesting or not. The folders labelled interesting by the trained artificial intelligence model can be further refined to a subset of folders that are placed in a watch list, and monitored for changes.

Abstract: In an approach to determine performance information of a target item operating under a particular set of context information, a method, in response to receiving a request for performance information of a target item, and operating with a first computing device, identifies context information of the first computing device. The method determines whether a knowledge base includes a response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item operating within context information similar to the first computing device. The method, in response to determining that the knowledge base includes the response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item, sends the performance information to the first computing device, and initiates a communication channel between the first computing device and a second computing device operating the target item and having similar context information of the first computing device.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a first device, a host device, and a dock. The dock communicates with the first device over a first physical communication link, and with the host device over a second physical communication link. The dock receives a vendor defined message from the host device over the second physical communication link. In response to the first device being a destination device for the vendor defined message, the dock converts the vendor defined message to a second message having a different protocol as compared to the vendor defined message and designates an embedded controller of the dock as a virtual destination for the second message. In response to the first device being the destination device, the embedded controller regenerates the second message as a second vendor defined message and provides the second vendor defined message to the first device via the second physical communication link.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relate to dynamically changing predictive latency related attributes to increase the deterministic window (DTWIN) of operation. The host device workload characteristics as well as the memory device's current condition provide valuable information for the duration of the DTWIN. If the memory device is near the end of life, then the DTWIN duration will be smaller. Additionally, if the workload from the host device is heavy, then the DTWIN duration will also be smaller. Rather than utilizing a fixed DTWIN duration based upon worst case scenarios for host device workload and memory device condition, dynamically adjusting the DTWIN duration based upon the workload and condition will provide a DTWIN duration that can gradually decrease over time from a much longer DTWIN duration than is currently available.

Abstract: A quantum message bus using superdense encoding to provide communications between services running on quantum computing devices and/or classical computing devices is disclosed herein. In one example, a message bus listener service executing on a first quantum computing device receives, via the message bus, a message sent from a sending service running on the first quantum computing device directed to a recipient service executing on a second quantum computing device. A quantum communication driver (QCD) service of the first quantum computing device identifies the second quantum computing device as a remote quantum computing device, and performs superdense encoding of the message using a first set of qubits that are entangled with a second set of qubits of the second quantum computing device. The first set of qubits are then sent to the second quantum computing device, which, in some examples, decodes and transmits the message to the recipient service.
