  • Patent number: 11989600
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for caching identifiers for access commands are described. A memory sub-system can receive an access command to perform an access operation on a transfer unit of the memory sub-system. The memory sub-system can store an identifier associated with the access command in a memory component and can generate an internal command using a first core of the memory sub-system. In some embodiments, the memory sub-system can store the identifier in a shared memory that is accessible by the first core and can issue the internal command to perform the access operation on the memory sub-system.

  • Publication number: 20240163226
    Abstract: Techniques for tracking compute capacity of a scalable application service platform to perform dynamic bandwidth allocation for data flows associated with applications hosted by the service platform are disclosed. Some of the techniques may include allocating a first amount of bandwidth of a physical underlay of a network for data flows associated with an application. The techniques may also include receiving, from a scalable application service hosting the application, an indication of an amount of computing resources of the scalable application service that are allocated to host the application. Based at least in part on the indications, a second amount of bandwidth of the physical underlay to allocate for the data flows may be determined. The techniques may also include allocating the second amount of bandwidth of the physical underlay of the network for the data flows associated with the application.
