Abstract: A method for throttling host throughput in a computer storage subsystem is provided. The host throughput is compared to a throughput limit for a predetermined time period. If the host throughput exceeds the throughput limit during the predetermined time period, an input/output (I/O) delay is set equal to the remainder of the predetermined time period, and the delay is implemented for an associated storage device of the computer storage subsystem.

Abstract: A method for controlling the throughput in a communications channel between a host and its storage subsystem is disclosed. A determination is made whether or not a total throughput value is greater than a predetermined maximum throughput value. If the total throughput value is greater than the predetermined maximum throughput value, a delay is applied to the communications channel. If the total throughput value is not greater than the predetermined maximum throughput value, another determination is made whether or not one time period has completed. If one time period has completed, a total throughput value and an exponential moving average (EMA) throughput value of the communications channel is retrieved, a new EMA throughput value is generated based on the total throughput value and the EMA throughput value, and adjusting the total throughput value based on whether or not the new throughput value is greater than a predetermined maximum throughput value.

Abstract: A method to generate a formatted trace for a second device embedded in a first device. The method provides source code comprising a trace entry, compiles that source code to form an embedded device code image comprising a trace description string and a trace description string address, and assigns the trace description string address as the traceId. The method creates a database comprising the trace description string and the trace description string address. The method uploads to the second device the embedded device code image, and generates trace data using that stripped code. The method then downloads that trace data to the first device, merges that trace data with the database, and forms a formatted trace.
