Abstract: Various systems to achieve data resiliency in a shared memory pool are presented. Multiple memory modules are associated with multiple data interfaces, one or multiple erasure-coding interfaces are communicatively connected with the multiple data interfaces, and multiple compute elements are communicatively connected with one or multiple erasure-coding interfaces. Data sets are erasure-coded, and the resulting fragments are stored in random access memory modules distributed throughout the system. Storage in RAM allows real-time fetching of fragments using random-access read cycles and streaming of fragments using random-access write cycles, in which read operations include reconstruction of data sets from fetched data fragments, and write operations allow conversion of data sets into fragments which are then streamed and distributively stored.

Abstract: Various systems and methods to generate automatically a procedure operative to divide a processing task between two or more compute elements. A first compute element converts a code sequence into a sequence of executable instructions, which direct a second compute element to perform a first processing sub-task on a data set, and which also direct a third compute element to perform a second processing sub-task on the data set modified by the first processing sub-task. A memory module storing the data set may be embedded in a server with at least one of the compute elements. In some of the embodiments, all of the compute elements are part of a single system, whereas in alternative embodiments, at least some of the compute elements are part of two or more sub-systems.

Abstract: Described herein are various systems and methods to automatically decide to aggregate data write requests in a distributed data store. A system initiates outgoing data write requests in synchronization with incoming data store commands, thereby facilitating low-latency read-back of the data. In response to an absence of data read requests, the system automatically changes such that each request includes two or more data sets, thereby breaking synchronization but consequently reducing traffic load on a switching network within the system. If the system later detects data read requests for previously stored data, the system will automatically change back to the original synchronized state, thereby decreasing the latency of accessing stored data. The system alternates between the modes of operation to achieve balance between low latency of data access and reduced traffic load on the switching network.

Abstract: A method, including receiving, by a user space driver framework (UDF) library executing from a user space of a memory over a monolithic operating system kernel, a kernel application programming interface (API) call from a device driver executing from the user space.

Abstract: A method includes tagging, by a processor executing a first operating system kernel, a region of a memory used by a first storage area network (SAN) adapter driver coupled to a SAN adapter, and decoupling the first SAN adapter driver from the SAN adapter. A boot of a second operating system kernel is then initiated while preserving in the tagged region of the memory contents stored therein. After the boot, a second SAN adapter driver is then coupled to the SAN adapter.

Abstract: Two or more ports of a same type are identified in a computer. A separate device driver process is initiated for each of the identified ports. A one-to-one correspondence between each of the ports and each of the device driver processes is established.

Abstract: A method for media processing includes providing a source media clip, which includes at least source audio data, via a network to a client device. A media recording, including client video and client audio data recorded by a user of the client device while playing the source audio data, is received via the network from the client device. The received media recording is synchronized with the source media clip and is mixed with the source media clip to generate a mixed media clip. The mixed media clip is transmitted to client devices over the network for playback by users of the client devices.

A boot of a second operating system kernel is then initiated while preserving in the tagged region of the volatile memory contents stored therein.
