Abstract: A phase training update circuit operates during a self-refresh cycle of a memory to perform a phase training update on individual bit lanes. The phase training update circuit adjusts a bit lane transmit phase offset forward a designated number of phase steps, transmits a training pattern, and determines a first number of errors in the transmission. It also adjusts the bit lane transmit phase offset backward the designated number of phase steps, transmits the training pattern, and determines a second number of errors in the transmission. Responsive to a difference between the first number of errors and the second number of errors, the phase training update circuits adjusts a center phase position for the bit lane transmit phase offset of the selected bit lane.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for providing tiered data storage in cloud infrastructure environments. A data storage service (block store) is adapted to automatically adjust the manner by which the data for a data volume or block volume (data/block volume), associated with a cloud instance, can be stored to meet the requirements of a performance tier. For example, responsive to selection of a particular performance tier, the storage of the data/block volume can be allocated between a first type of data storage associated with a first performance characteristics; and a second type of data storage associated with a second performance characteristics. A graphical user interface enables configuring data/block volumes to use particular performance tiers, and/or to support automatic tuning.

If one hard disk corresponding to the first mark is found to be in place, controlling the hard disk to output an alarm based on the first mark.

Instances of a first character in the encoded value is replaced with a defined second character to form a second encoded value. Finally, the second encoded value is sent to a cloud storage service for the cloud storage service to create a storage container using the second encoded value as a name of the storage container.

Abstract: An array of interconnected memory cells for storing therein a fractional-quantum-Hall-effect droplet whose state is controllable using voltages applied to the cell electrodes. In an example embodiment, the memory cells are arranged and linked together such as to reduce the geometric size of the array, e.g., compared to that of a linear array having the same number of memory cells. For example, one or more wheel-and-spokes arrangements of the memory cells can be used for this purpose. The smaller geometric size of the array can result in better coherence across the droplet confined therein, which can advantageously be used to improve the reliability and/or performance of the corresponding quantum-computing device.
