  • Publication number: 20200228630
    Abstract: A persistence service for edge architected computing systems extends current storage and memory schemes of edge resources to expose interfaces to allow an endpoint, such as an IoT device or client device, to specify criteria for achieving persistence for data stored in an edge resource. The persistence interface extends the storage and memory controllers to store data in accordance with the criteria, including determining whether a local or remote edge resource is best able to store data persistently in a manner that satisfies the criteria. The criteria include a persistence service level agreement, including a required time to persistence, cost of persistence and reliability level of persistence. Only edge resources that contain media, including storage subsystems and/or memory, capable of storing data persistently while satisfying the criteria will be permitted to service the request.

  • Patent number: 10586764
    Abstract: Semiconductor packages with programmable routing pathways are disclosed. The semiconductor package may have a source trace that may be electrically coupled to two or more different electrical pathways, where any of the electrical pathways may be activated to provide an electrical connection between the source trace and one or more destination nodes. Each of the electrical pathways may have a corresponding metal well with a correspond airgap overlying the metal well, as well as corresponding heating elements. If a particular heating element is energized, the heating element may melt metal in a corresponding metal well and the molten metal may migrate by capillary action into the overlying airgap to complete an electrical connection between the source trace and a destination node.

  • Patent number: 10581596
    Abstract: Technologies for managing errors in a remotely accessible memory pool include a memory sled. The memory sled includes a memory pool having one or more byte-addressable memory devices and a memory pool controller coupled to the memory pool. The memory sled is to write test data to a byte-addressable memory region in the memory pool. The memory region is to be accessed by a remote compute sled. The memory sled is also to read data from the memory region to which the test data was written, compare the read data to the test data to determine whether a threshold number of errors are present in the read data, and send, in response to a determination that the threshold number of errors are present in the read data, a notification to the remote compute sled that the memory region is faulty.

    Abstract: Technologies for providing remote access to a shared memory pool include a memory sled. The memory sled includes a memory pool having one or more byte-addressable memory devices and a memory pool controller coupled to the memory pool. The memory pool controller is to produce, for each of a plurality of compute sleds, address space data indicative of addresses of byte-addressable memory in the memory pool accessible to the compute sled, and corresponding permissions associated with the addresses. The memory pool controller is also to provide the address space data to each corresponding compute sled and receive, from a requesting compute sled of the plurality of compute sleds, a memory access request. The memory access request includes an address from the address space data to be accessed.

  • Patent number: 10469252
    Abstract: Technologies for efficiently managing the allocation of memory in a shared memory pool include a memory sled. The memory sled includes a memory pool of byte-addressable memory devices. The memory sled also includes a memory pool controller coupled to the memory pool. The memory pool controller receives a request to provision memory to a compute sled. Further, the memory pool controller maps, in response to the request, each of the memory devices of the memory pool to the compute sled. The memory pool controller additionally assigns access rights to the compute sled as a function of one or more memory characteristics of the compute sled. The memory characteristics are indicative of an amount of memory in the memory pool to be used by the compute sled and the access rights are indicative of access permissions to one or more memory address ranges associated with the one or more memory devices.

  • Patent number: 10331614
    Abstract: Systems and methods of implementing server architectures that can facilitate the servicing of memory components in computer systems. The systems and methods employ nonvolatile memory/storage modules that include nonvolatile memory (NVM) that can be used for system memory and mass storage, as well as firmware memory. The respective NVM/storage modules can be received in front or rear-loading bays of the computer systems. The systems and methods further employ single, dual, or quad socket processors, in which each processor is communicably coupled to at least some of the NVM/storage modules disposed in the front or rear-loading bays by one or more memory and/or input/output (I/O) channels. By employing NVM/storage modules that can be received in front or rear-loading bays of computer systems, the systems and methods provide memory component serviceability heretofore unachievable in computer systems implementing conventional server architectures.
