Abstract: What is disclosed is structures and methods to integrate microdevices into system or receiver substrates. The integration of microdevices is facilitated by adding staging pads to microdevices before or after transferring. Creating stages after the transfer of a first microdevice to a substrate for the subsequent microdevice transfer to the first (or the second) microdevice transfer. The stage improves the surface profile of the substrate so that next microdevice can be transferred without the first microdevice on the substrate get damaged by or interfere with the surface of the donor or transfer head. Some embodiments further relate to tiled display device and more particularly, to stacking tiles to a backplane to form the tiled display device.

Abstract: A resource management configuration may receive an API request from an API server. The API request specifies task information from a plurality of tenants. The configuration transmits status information of a plurality of VMs to the API server to assign tasks to one or more VMs based on the task information and the status information. Tasks assigned to a VM of the plurality of VMs are for one tenant of the plurality of tenants. The configuration configures on an untrusted network, network security groups for managing communications of tenants such that a network security group configured for a tenant permits communications between VMs assigned to the same tenant but prevents communications between VMs assigned to different tenants. The configuration pins each assigned VM of the one or more assigned VMs to perform the task based on the task information of the corresponding tenant.

Abstract: A system performs efficient startup of executors of a distributed computing engine used for processing queries, for example, database queries. The system starts an executor node and processes a set of queries using the executor node to warm up the executor node. The system performs a checkpoint of the warmed-up executor node to create an image. The image is restored in the target executor nodes. The system may store a checkpoint image for each configuration of an executor node. The configuration is determined based on various factors including the hardware of the executor node, memory allocation of the processes, and so on. The user or restore based on checkpoint images improves efficiency of execution of the startup of executor nodes.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory includes physical blocks each including a respective plurality of cells, where each cell is capable of storing multiple bits of data. A controller maintains dynamically resizable pools of physical blocks, including at least a low-density pool in which cells are configured to store fewer bits and a high-density pool in which cells are configured to store more bits. The controller repeatedly dynamically resizes the low-density and the high-density pools based on write utilization of the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging systems by enabling users in an electronic chat conversation to run applications together. In some embodiments, when one user in a chat launches an application, an icon or other visual representation of the application appears in a portion of the chat window (e.g., in a “chat dock”) for other users in the chat to access.

Abstract: In one general embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving specification of an amount of drive space in a solid state drive (SSD) to emulate, the specified amount being less than all of the drive space of the SSD. The SSD is formatted such that only a number of blocks that provides the specified amount of drive space are made available, and the other blocks are skipped. The available blocks are distributed substantially evenly across planes of the SSD. A presented amount of drive space of the SSD corresponds to the specified amount of drive space. Parameters of the SSD that are dependent upon capacity are scaled based on the specified amount of drive space relative to an actual amount of drive space of the SSD.

Abstract: A controller of the solid-state drive (SSD) maintains a logical-to-physical translation layer, wherein metadata for the logical-to-physical translation layer is stored in metadata pages in a flash memory of the SSD. The controller tracks a write heat of the metadata pages. The controller stores relatively more frequently accessed metadata pages in a non-durable cache of the SSD. The controller prioritized metadata write operations based on write heat of the metadata pages, such that a NAND flash block of the flash memory contains metadata pages with a similar write heat, wherein extents with similar write heats are grouped together into a stripe that stores extent data, and wherein write heats of the extents with the similar write heats do not differ from each other beyond a predetermined threshold.
