Abstract: Techniques described herein generally relate to a task management system for a chip multiprocessor having multiple processor cores. The task management system tracks the changing instruction set capabilities of each processor core and selects processor cores for use based on the tracked capabilities. In this way, a processor core with one or more failed processing elements can still be used effectively, since the processor core may be selected to process instruction sets that do not use the failed processing elements.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for resiliency testing microservice-based applications. For example, a method for resiliency testing an application includes receiving a test script that specifies a failure scenario in a distributed microservice-based application comprising a plurality of microservices, and an asserted behavioral expectation of at least one microservice of the distributed microservice-based application in response to the specified failure scenario. The specified failure scenario is translated into fault injection rules. The fault injection rules are utilized to execute fault injection operations on messages that are exchanged between at least a first microservice and a second microservice of the distributed microservice-based application, to stage the specified failure scenario during the failure recovery testing of the distributed microservice-based application.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for an error troubleshooting application. Error data is obtained from a client device. A correlated knowledge base is referenced to determine if a solution is associated with the error data. If a solution is associated with the error data, a notification embodying the solution is communicated to the client device. If a solution is not associated with the error data, a notification indicating the solution is unknown is communicated to the client device.

Abstract: A service provider system may implement ECC-like features when executing computations on GPUs that do not include sufficient error detection and recovery for computations that are sensitive to bit errors. During execution of critical computations on behalf of customers, the system may automatically instrument program instructions received from the customers to cause each computation to be executed using multiple sets of hardware resources (e.g., different host machines, processor cores, or internal hardware resources). The service may provide APIs with which customers may instrument their code for execution using redundant resource instances, or specify parameters for applying the ECC-like features. The service or customer may instrument code to perform (or cause the system to perform) checkpointing operations at particular points in the code, and to compare intermediate results produced by different hardware resources.

Abstract: A storage system to recover and rewrite overwritten data is described. A Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) array subsystem within the storage system writes data to multiple adjacent tracks on a number of storage devices, such as hard drives that support shingled magnetic recording. While writing data, the SMR array subsystem detects that one of the storage devices erroneously overwrote a portion of the data on one or more of the tracks. The SMR array subsystem can recover the overwritten portion of data using other portions of the data written to corresponding tracks on the other storage devices that are part of the array. The recovered data can then be rewritten to the array.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for collecting forensics associated with a failure of a storage controller. For example, a storage node, of a cluster environment, may comprise a service processor and a storage controller. The storage controller may manage a storage device accessible, through the storage controller, to one or more client devices. The service processor may manage the storage controller (e.g., collect operational statistics of the storage controller, perform software and/or firmware updates for the storage controller, etc.). The service processor may obtain forensics associated with a failure of the storage controller, and may provide the forensics to a cluster health monitor notwithstanding the storage controller being in an inoperable state (e.g., the service processor may send the forensics through a network interface controller of the storage node, over a non-client storage management network, to the cluster health monitor).

Abstract: Embodiments are described for systems and methods that facilitate control of virtual endpoint failover/failback operations in a SCSI target network environment. During failover, SCSI target virtual endpoints failover to a secondary SCSI target port when the primary port fails, and failback to the primary port when the primary port is corrected. Embodiments include a method of efficiently controlling failover and failback operations of virtual endpoints where such operations may have different operating characteristics and be asynchronously initiated, and a method of globally or selectively cancelling failover and failback operations based on multiple system and operating conditions.

The set of one or more virtual datacenter entities includes one or more virtual machines, one or more logical storage devices, or a combination of virtual machines and logical storage devices. The set of virtual datacenter entities is expandable and interchangeable with other virtual datacenter entities.
