Abstract: A processor blade determines whether a selected processing task is to be off-loaded to a storage blade for processing. The selected processing task is off-loaded to the storage blade via a planar bus communication path, in response to determining that the selected processing task is to be off-loaded to the storage blade. The off-loaded selected processing task is processed in the storage blade. The storage blade communicates the results of the processing of the off-loaded selected processing task to the processor blade.

Abstract: A method to manage power in a computing device comprising a controller assembly and a storage assembly comprising a plurality of data storage devices, by selecting a processor parameter, establishing a threshold processor parameter value, establishing a threshold over-parameter time interval, selecting a data storage device parameter, and establishing a nominal data storage device parameter value. The method determines an actual processor parameter value. If the actual processor parameter value is less than or equal to the threshold processor parameter value, the method operates each of the plurality of data storage devices using the nominal data storage device parameter value. If the actual processor parameter value is greater than the threshold processor parameter value, then the method determines an actual over-parameter time interval.

Abstract: A system, method, and program product is provided that requests, by a first computer system, a new network session with a second computer system. The new network session request occurs after a previous network session between the two systems and the new network session request includes a new sequence number that is different from a previous sequence number that was used during the previous network session. The first computer system receives an acknowledgement from the second computer system that references the previous sequence number instead of the new sequence number. In response to receiving the acknowledgement at the first computer system that references the previous sequence number, the first computer system modifies the new sequence number by setting it to a value that is higher than the previous sequence number, and the first computer system re-requests the new network session using the modified new sequence number.
