  • Patent number: 12282392
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provides various systems, apparatuses, and techniques for reducing latencies and power consumption of link training or retraining. In some aspects, the techniques use a specific register to identify the cause of link retraining. Based on the identified reasons of link retraining, the apparatus can selectively skip the initialization of certain redundant lanes of the link. In some aspects, the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) can be configured to identify whether link retraining is initiated as part of a trainerror or linkerror exit or not. A UCIe device can have a redundant_recovery (RR) register that can be set to different values to identify the cause of link retraining (e.g., due to trainerror/linkerror or not).

  • Patent number: 12259787
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a monitoring algorithm that ensures that each step of an automated virtual machine reclamation process executes correctly before moving on to the next step. After each step of the process, some implementations can determine whether the resulting data is correct. If the resulting data is incorrect, some implementations can initially revert any fields updated by the process to their correct value. Some implementations can further decide whether to resubmit the virtual machine for reclamation automatically, or queue it for manual review based on, for example, multiple or repeated failures, server or data center failures, etc. Thus, some implementations can not only automate each step of the reclamation process, but also provide process evaluation and error detection for the reclamation process.
