Abstract: Certain Embodiments described herein relate to configuring the network-storage stack of two devices (e.g., physical or virtual) communicating together (e.g., an initiator and a target, as defined below) with Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) extension for remote direct memory access (RDMA) iSER, which is a protocol designed to utilize RDMA to accelerate iSCSI data transfer. The iSER protocol is implemented as an iSER datamover layer that acts as an interface between an iSCSI layer and an RDMA layer of the network-storage stacks of the two devices. Using iSER in conjunction with RDMA allows for bypassing the existing traditional network protocol layers (e.g., TCP/IP protocol layers) of the devices and permits data to be transferred directly, between the two devices, using certain memory buffers, thereby avoiding memory copies taking place when the existing network protocol layers are used.

The approach may include determining the status of a next microservice or subsequence. The approach may further include invoking the next microservice or subsequence in the running sequence, in response to the status of the next microservice or subsequence being upgrade-complete.

Abstract: A device operates in pairing mode, indoor navigation mode or search mode. For each mode, a magnetic sensor in the device senses one or more alternating current (AC) magnetic fields emitted by one or more transmitters in a three-dimensional (3D) space, and uses the one or more AC magnetic fields to determine a position of the device relative to the one or more transmitters or another device. In pairing mode, relative position vectors computed from two or more AC magnetic fields allows the device to choose the closest transmitter for pairing. In indoor navigation mode, multiple detections of AC magnetic fields emitted by multiple transmitters assist a user in navigating an indoor space. In search mode, a companion device and a lost device each sense an AC magnetic field from a transmitter, and the AC magnetic fields are used to determine a relative position vector from the companion device to the lost device.
