Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein related to programming irrigation controllers. In some embodiments, a system for programming irrigation controllers includes an irrigation control application stored on a memory of a mobile electronic device. The irrigation control application can allow the user to create, save, and edit an irrigation schedule template and allow the user to transmit the irrigation schedule template to one or more irrigation controllers. The irrigation control application can store the irrigation schedule template in the memory of the mobile electronic device, but the application does not save the irrigation schedule template at a remote irrigation server.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein related to irrigation control. In some embodiments, a shared network of sensors gathers data, and then the data and/or analysis decisions are shared with irrigation devices at other properties. In some embodiments, non-irrigation water flow usage data at a given property can be used to optimize irrigation at the property. In some embodiments, non-irrigation water flow data is used to determine that more than one irrigation station can be run at the same time. In some embodiments, consent can be provided to a water authority for irrigation at a property to be controlled by irrigation schedules and/or schedule adjustments provided by the water authority. And in some embodiments, irrigation can be controlled or adjusted based on analysis of imagery data obtained at a site or property as irrigation is occurring.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns at least one processor that can execute a polling group to poll for storage transactions associated with a first group of one or more particular queue identifiers. The disclosure concerns at least one processor is configured to: execute a second polling group on a second processor, wherein the second polling group is to poll for storage transactions for a second group of one or more particular queue identifiers that are different than the one or more particular queue identifiers of the first group, wherein the second group of one or more particular queue identifiers are associated with one or more queues that can be accessed using the second polling group and not the first polling group.

Abstract: Examples herein relate to polling for input/output transactions of a network interface or a storage device, or any peripheral device. Some examples monitor clock cycles spent checking for a presence of input/output (I/O) events and processing I/O events and monitor clock cycles spent checking for presence of I/O events without completing an I/O event. Central processing unit (CPU) core utilization can be based on clock cycles spent checking for a presence of I/O events and processing I/O events and clock cycles spent checking for presence of I/O events without completion of an I/O event. For example, if core utilization is below a threshold, frequency of the core can be reduced for performing polling of I/O events. If core utilization is at or above the threshold, frequency of the core can be increased used to performing polling of I/O events.

Abstract: A method is described. The method includes receiving a first invocation for a first ASIC block on a semiconductor chip. The first invocation provides a value. The method includes receiving a second invocation for a second ASIC block on the semiconductor chip. The second invocation also provides the value. The method includes determining that the second ASIC block is to operate on output from the first ASIC block from the first and second invocations having both provided the value. The method includes using a first device driver for the first ASIC block and a second device driver for the ASIC block to cause the second ASIC block to operate on the output from the first ASIC block.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a network interface having a system interface, a media access interface and circuitry to construct a block of null values for a logical block address (LBA) in response to a remote storage system having informed the network interface that the LBA was un-mappable.

Abstract: A method is described. The method includes constructing a bitmap having a first dimension organized into bins of logical block addresses (LBA bins) and a second dimension organized into bins of physical block addresses (PBA bins). Coordinates of the bitmap indicate whether respective physical blocks of non volatile memory within one or more SSDs that fall within a particular PBA bin are being mapped to by an LBA that falls within a particular one of the LBA bins. The method includes using the bitmap during a rebuild of an LBA bin of an LBA/PBA table to avoid reading meta data for physical blocks that are not mapped to by an LBA that falls within the LBA bin.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an irrigation control device is provided that includes adjacent terminal connector rows having a ridge portion between the rows, where the ridge portion is configured to support and guide wires to electrical connection pads of one row, and to support these wires above wires retained in another row of electrical connection pads. In some embodiments, the ridge portion offsets the wires from the different rows in the horizontal plane.

Abstract: Technologies for prioritized execution of storage commands by a data storage device include determining a priority of storage commands issued by a host and adding the storage commands to a queue of the data storage device based on the determined priority of the storage command. For example, the storage command issued by the host may be divided into sub-commands and added to a storage sub-command queue of the data storage device based on the determined priority of the storage command. The priority of the storage commands may be determined based on any suitable criteria including, for example, the host storage command queue storing the storage command, metadata associated with the storage command, the type or size of the storage command, and/or other aspects of the storage command, the host, and/or the data storage device.
