Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for an IOC that does not limit each CPU to a particular port. Instead, the IOC may allow each CPU to communicate with all ports. Thus, the IOC can process CPU communications to determine which port to send them to, and send them to the correct port as well as process incoming communications from the ports to determine which CPU to send them to and send these communications to the correct CPU. This may significantly increase the flexibility and efficiency of a storage network.

Abstract: A method, machine-readable medium, and systolic array for left matrix multiplication of a first matrix and a second matrix are described. The first matrix is a triangular matrix, and a cross-diagonal transpose of the first matrix is loaded into a triangular array of cells in an integrated circuit. A cross-diagonal transpose of the second matrix is input into the triangular array of cells for multiplication with the cross-diagonal transpose of the first matrix to produce an interim result. The interim result is cross-diagonally transposed to provide a left matrix multiplication result, which is stored or otherwise output.

Abstract: A tissue analyte measuring device (2) includes a light source (4) structured to emit unpolarized light toward the skin surface of a subject, and a detector assembly (8) configured to receive light reflected the skin surface of the subject and the transcutaneous tissues of the subject, the detector assembly including a polarizing filter (12) and a number of light detector subassemblies (14). The polarizing filter is structured to filter out s-polarized light and pass only p-polarized light to light detector subassemblies. The light source is structured and positioned to emit the unpolarized light in a manner wherein the unpolarized light will exit the measuring device at a predetermined angle with respect to a normal to a light emitting plane of the measuring device, wherein the predetermined angle is an angle (the Brewster's angle) at which only s-polarized light will be reflected by the skin surface when the unpolarized light is incident thereon.

Abstract: A method for fast I/O path failure detection and cluster wide failover. The method includes accessing a distributed computer system having a cluster including a plurality of nodes, and experiencing an I/O path failure for a storage device. An I/O failure message is generated in response to the I/O path failure. A cluster wide I/O failure message broadcast to the plurality of nodes that designates a faulted controller. Upon receiving I/O failure responses from the plurality nodes, an I/O queue message is broadcast to the nodes to cause the nodes to queue I/O through the faulted controller and switch to an alternate controller. Upon receiving I/O queue responses from the plurality nodes, an I/O failover commit message is broadcast to the nodes to cause the nodes to commit to a failure and un-queue their I/O.

Abstract: A sacrificial memory bank is added to a block of regular banks in a memory to reduce dynamic power consumption of the memory. The sacrificial bank is accessed by a set of bit lines that is substantially shorter than corresponding bit lines extending through all of the regular memory banks. Memory read and write operations, which are addressed to one of the regular banks, are deliberately redirected to the sacrificial bank having the short bit lines. Tracking circuitry identifies the regular bank that was addressed for each location in the sacrificial bank. Data is moved from the sacrificial bank to a regular bank only when a new write operation does not match the bank of the previous write operation. Dynamic power is reduced because locality of reference causes access to the sacrificial bank without having to access a regular bank for most memory read and write operations.
