  • Adaptive multi-stream classification for data storage systems
    Patent number: 11853595
    Abstract: A stream set classification process may be implemented to classify streams opened by a host device on a data storage device. The data storage device may internally classify the streams into different stream classifications using a set of performance metrics. Stream classifications that cause the data storage device to show the greatest gains when compared with a set of baseline performance metrics for the data storage device and/or when compared with other stream classifications, may be selected by the data storage device and/or the host device for subsequent write operations.

  • Read clock start and stop for synchronous memories
    Patent number: 11854602
    Abstract: A memory controller monitors memory command selected for dispatch to the memory and sends commands controlling a read clock state. A memory includes a read clock circuit and a mode register. The read clock circuit has an output for providing a hybrid read clock signal in response to a clock signal and a read clock mode signal. The mode register provides the read clock mode signal in response to a read clock mode, wherein the read clock circuit provides the hybrid read clock signal as a free-running clock signal that toggles continuously when the read clock mode is a first mode, and as a strobe signal that is active only in response to the memory receiving a read command when the read clock mode is a second mode.

  • Fire resistant coating system and method
    Patent number: 11851873
    Abstract: Embodiments of a leno weave mesh of the present invention generally include a plurality of high-temperature weft yarns, high-temperature warp yarns, and low melting point warp yarns; wherein each low melting point warp yarn is intertwined with a high-temperature warp yarn, each intertwined pair of warp yarns is positioned such that the low melting point warp yarn and high-temperature warp yarn are disposed alternatingly on either side of the woven mesh at intersections of the weft and warp yarns, and the woven mesh is heated whereby the surfaces of the low melting point warp yarns adhere to the surface of the high-temperature warp yarns and said high-temperature weft yarns at contact points there between. An intumescent coating system employing embodiments of the mesh, and a method of providing thermal protection to a substrate utilizing the intumescent coating system, are also provided.

  • Multi-cache based digital output generation
    Patent number: 11853217
    Abstract: Multi-cache-based digital output generation is provided. A system receives data objects that include fields from a remote data source. The system sorts the data objects based on a field to generate a sorted data set. The system cleans the sorted data set to generate a clean data set based on a policy. The system receives a request for a type of digital output based on the data objects received from the data source and loads a portion of the clean data set to a first level cache. The system selects a machine learning model configured for the type of digital output, and loads a primary cache with a subset of fields stored in the first level cache selected based on the machine learning model. The system generates, based on the first level cache being complete, digital output corresponding to the type of digital output from data in the primary cache.

  • Budgeting open blocks of a storage unit based on power loss prevention
    Patent number: 11847331
    Abstract: A storage unit has one or more processing devices, a solid-state drive and an open blocks cache memory. The open blocks cache memory holds open blocks of data or metadata and holds closed blocks of data or metadata pending writing to the solid-state drive. Closed blocks of data or metadata are written to the solid-state drive and open blocks of data or metadata are written to the open blocks cache memory. Values for open blocks in the open blocks cache memory are tracked. The values are adjusted in a first direction when an open block is written to the open blocks cache memory, and the values are adjusted in a second direction when an open block in the open blocks cache memory is closed and written from the open blocks cache memory to the solid-state drive.

  • Approach for reducing side effects of computation offload to memory
    Patent number: 11847055
    Abstract: A technical solution to the technical problem of how to reduce the undesirable side effects of offloading computations to memory uses read hints to preload results of memory-side processing into a processor-side cache. A cache controller, in response to identifying a read hint in a memory-side processing instruction, causes results of the memory-side processing to be preloaded into a processor-side cache. Implementations include, without limitation, enabling or disabling the preloading based upon cache thrashing levels, preloading results, or portions of results, of memory-side processing to particular destination caches, preloading results based upon priority and/or degree of confidence, and/or during periods of low data bus and/or command bus utilization, last stores considerations, and enforcing an ordering constraint to ensure that preloading occurs after memory-side processing results are complete.
