Abstract: A mechanism is provided for programmatic implicit multithreading. A first operation is executed on a first thread in a processor, where the first operation is from a set of operations within a block of code of an application that are distinct and process unrelated data. A determination is made as to whether a time limit associated with executing the first operation has been exceeded. Responsive to the time limit being exceeded, a determination is made as to whether there is one or more unexecuted operations in the set of operations. Responsive to one or more unexecuted operations existing in the set of operations, a new thread is spawned off on the processor to execute a next unexecuted operation of the one or more unexecuted operations.

Abstract: Providing access to a data storage resource. A storage subsystem comprising one or more storage address units and is associated with one or more access interfaces is identified. An address-interface correlation guideline is identified that defines a combination of rules that govern which access interfaces are used to access storage address units. A target address unit identification is received from a requesting system. A processor determines which storage address units a requesting system requests to access to based on the received target address unit identification. The target address unit identification is associated with at least one of the storage address units. The requesting system is provided with access to the storage address units using access interfaces that are determined based on a target interface conclusion.

Abstract: A data storage system includes first and second storage devices accessed via first and second hardware channels, respectively. A storage controller receives a first access request requesting access to first data and a second access request requesting access to second data, where both the first data and the second data are accessed via the first hardware channel. In response to detecting receipt of the first and second access requests within a same service window defining a range of temporal proximity, the storage controller records an association of identifiers of the first data and second data requested by the first and second access requests, respectively. The storage controller thereafter migrates the second data accessed by the second access request from the first storage device to the second storage device based on the recorded association, such that the first and second data are available for access via different hardware channels.

Abstract: An amplification number may be input into a storage subsystem interface. A processor in a storage system may receive an original input/output (I/O) request from an application. The processor may determine, in response to the amplification number being input, to duplicate the original I/O request one or more times. The processor may generate one or more duplicate I/O requests of the original I/O request. The processor may store the original I/O request in a general address space in the storage subsystem. The processor may store the one or more duplicate I/O requests in a reserved address space in the storage subsystem. The processor may execute the original I/O request and the one or more duplicate requests.

Abstract: Storage system and application intercommunication is provided. A first kernel-mode module determines a first event corresponding to an operational parameter of a first node based, at least in part, on a shared namespace accessible by the first kernel-mode module and a second kernel-mode module. An interrupt is issued based on the first event from the first kernel-mode module to the second kernel-mode module via an interface. The second kernel-mode module issues a second event to a second node, wherein the second event corresponds to the object of the shared namespace.
