  • Publication number: 20250103490
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a metadata page for storage within a log-structured metadata store. An entry may be generated within a translation table page of a translation table within the log-structured metadata store, wherein each entry of a plurality of entries within the translation table page is associated with a separate metadata page. One or more metadata page deltas for the metadata page may be recorded in the log-structured metadata store. The one or more metadata page deltas for the metadata page may be flushed to a persistent memory storage. In response to flushing the one or more metadata page deltas for the metadata page, the entry within the translation table page that is associated with the metadata page may be updated without accessing any other entry within the translation table page associated with other metadata pages.

  • Patent number: 11481341
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a token pool size for a storage system token pool associated with a storage system. An input/output (IO) processing load for the storage system may be determined. The token pool size for the storage system token pool associated with the storage system may be dynamically adjusted based upon, at least in part, one or more changes in the IO processing load determined for the storage system.

  • Patent number: 11232614
    Abstract: A density gradient analysis tool can be employed in conjunction with heat mapping systems. A data distribution of data points can be generated. The data distribution can include bins that represent an interval of time and density corresponding to a number of data points in each bin. Further, the data distribution can aggregate data points in each bin. A heat map can be generated based on the data distribution that includes regions corresponding to bins and coloration associated with aggregate values. Further, the heat maps can be interactive including an ability to transition between time periods, expand an interval of time, and select a subset of data for further inspection.

  • Patent number: 9539439
    Abstract: A treatment for subcutaneous fat and/or cellulite includes delivering a beam of radiation to a subcutaneous fat region disposed relative to a dermal interface in a target region of skin. The beam of radiation affects at least one fat cell in the subcutaneous fat region without causing substantial unwanted injury to the epidermal region and causes thermal injury to a dermal region to induce collagen formation to strengthen the target region of skin in a target region of skin. The treatment can include cooling an epidermal region of the target region of skin.
