Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods to preemptively detect defect prone memory blocks in a memory device and handle these memory blocks before they fail and trigger a data loss event. Metrics based on memory operations can be used to facilitate the examination of the memory blocks. One or more metrics associated with a memory operation on a block of memory can be tracked and a Z-score for each metric can be generated. In response to a comparison of a Z-score for a metric to a Z-score threshold for the metric, operations can be performed to control possible retirement of the memory block beginning with the comparison. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for supporting multicast for virtual networks. In some embodiments, a native multicast approach can utilized in which packet replication is performed on a host node of a virtual machine (VM) with a multicast data packet encapsulated in uniquely address unicast packets. In some embodiments, a network virtual appliance can be utilized. A multicast packet sent from the VM can be unicasted to the network virtual appliance. The multicast appliance can then replicate the packet into multiple copies and send the packets to the receivers in the virtual network as unicast data packets encapsulating the multicast packet.

Abstract: Graphics processing unit instancing control techniques are described that overcome conventional challenges to expand functionality made available via a graphics processing unit. In one example, these techniques support ordering of primitives within respective instances of a single draw call made to a graphics processing unit. This is performed by ordering primitives within respective instances that correspond to polygons for rendering. The ordering of the primitives overcomes limitations of conventional techniques and reduces visual artifacts through support of correct overlaps and z-ordering of instances.
