  • Patent number: 11968052
    Abstract: An information handling system communicates with external devices, such as a docking station, through a multi-protocol streaming cable, such as USB 3.0 (or greater) cable having a USB data protocol, a DisplayPort graphics protocol and a power transfer protocol. Upon detection of excessive errors at the cable, the multi-protocol stream is adjusted to maintain errors within an acceptable range and prioritize information transferred through one of the protocols. Adjustments may include changes to the number of data lanes assigned to each protocol, changes to the rate at which information is transferred with each protocol and changes to power transfer.

  • Patent number: 11966585
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a storage device and a storage system. The device comprises a storage, a storage controller, a control module, and a buffer module. The control module is configured to: when receiving a data read-write instruction, update the data read-write instruction by using a virtual address; apply for K buffer units in the buffer module; perform a write operation on the K buffer units by using data to be read and written; and when any of the K buffer units is full, directly start data transmission of the full buffer unit. By using the virtual storage address and by employing data block management, the present disclosure can update and forward an NVMe I/O command without applying for a storage space in advance, and can start data block transmission without checking the completion message.

  • Patent number: 11960771
    Abstract: A first controller manages first mapping information for accessing data stored in a storage area, management of which is assigned to the first controller, and second mapping information for accessing data stored in a predetermined storage area, management of which is assigned to a second controller. The second controller, when having executed garbage collection on the predetermined storage area, changes mapping information to post-migration mapping information for accessing data after being migrated by the garbage collection.

  • Patent number: 11960406
    Abstract: Reducing overheads of recording a replayable execution trace of a program's execution at a computer processor by omitting logging of accesses to memory addresses whose values can be reconstructed or predicted. A computer system determines that memory values corresponding to a range of memory addresses within a memory space for a process can be obtained separately from the process' execution, and configures a data structure for instructing a processor to omit logging of memory accesses when the processor accesses an address within this range while executing the process. Correspondingly, upon detecting a memory access while executing the process, the processor determines if it has been instructed to omit logging of the access by checking the data structure. When the data structure instructs the processor to omit logging of the access, the processor omits logging the memory access while it uses a cache to process the memory access.

  • Patent number: 11957975
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to systems and method for streaming a video game at a client device. The client device may transmit video game controls to a streaming server. The client device may receive a video stream encoding video images generated in response to the video game controls from the streaming server. The client device may determine that a video image of the video stream to display in a frame has not been completely received at a designated time prior to display of the frame. The client device may determine an image transformation based on a history of the video images and motion vectors for the video stream. The client device may apply the image transformation to a portion of one or more images corresponding to previous frames. The client device may display a substitute video image in the frame including the portion of the transformed image.

  • Patent number: 11960741
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to writing data to streams. A host device can instruct a data storage device to operate in implied streams mode such that the host device does not need to tell the data storage device the specific stream in which to write data. The data storage device would maintain a list of open append points of specific streams. Upon receiving a write command, the data storage device determines whether the write command is for an already open stream, and if so, write to the specific stream. If not, then the data storage device opens a new stream or write the data to an overflow stream.

  • Patent number: 11962518
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a packet for a flow associated with a workload. Based on an indicator for the flow, the method determines whether the flow corresponds to one of an elephant flow or a mice flow. Only when the flow is determined to correspond to an elephant flow, the method enables a hardware acceleration operation on the packet. The hardware acceleration operation may include hardware operation offload, receive side scaling, and workload migration.
