Abstract: A system has a collection of central processing units. Each central processing unit is connected to at least one other central processing unit and has a path into flash memory resources. A central processing unit supports a mapping from a data address space, to a flash memory virtual address space, to a flash memory virtual page number to a flash memory physical address space.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data processing system includes a plurality of processing units, each processing unit having one or more processor cores. The system further includes a plurality of memory roots, each memory root being associated with one of the processing units. Each memory root includes one or more branches and a plurality of memory leaves to store data. Each of the branches is associated with one or more of the memory leaves and to provide access to the data stored therein. The system further includes a memory fabric coupled to each of the branches of each memory root to allow each branch to access data stored in any of the memory leaves associated with any one of remaining branches.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the technology relate to a method for storing data. More specifically, the method may include selecting a first RAID grid location in a RAID grid, where the first RAID grid location is flagged, selecting a second RAID grid location in the RAID grid, making a first determination that the second RAID grid location is not flagged, in response to the first determination, loading first data associated with the second RAID grid location into a cache, calculating a parity value for a corresponding set of RAID grid locations in a data grid using the first data in the cache, where the first RAID grid location and the second RAID grid location are in the set of RAID grid locations, and storing at least a copy of the first data and the parity value in a storage array comprising persistent storage.

Abstract: A helmet training aid for obscuring the vision of a user. The helmet training aid includes a panel having a pair of distal ends securely affixed to a pair of opposing blinders. A fastener is secured at a lower end of each blinder, wherein the fastener removably secures each blinder to an opposing side of a helmet such that an upper end of each blinder covers an open portion of the helmet therebetween a brim and a cage of the helmet. The panel contains one or more fasteners on a first surface that removably secures to the cage of the helmet. In an alternative embodiment, opposing sidewalls of the blinders flare outwardly from the lower end to the upper end, the fastener on each blinder is secured to a protrusion at the lower end, and the panel is made of a mesh material.

Abstract: A computing system is configured to use a trampoline to isolate sensitive code in a virtual environment and in other applications. An import table may describe the entry points of a privileged code module or driver that generates privileged code. A system and method loads a shadow kernel to facilitate isolating the linkage between drivers and the rest of the system. The shadow kernel may be a copy of the operating system kernel that does not have the same integral position in the operation of the computing device. The shadow kernel may be used as a template for creating a jump table to redirect more critical privileged resource access requests from specially loaded kernel mode drivers to the PVM. All requests may pass through the PVM, which redirects non-critical functions to the original kernel. Multiple copies of a given driver or code module may be loaded in a given session.
