  • Patent number: 12235730
    Abstract: A system can determine that a node a storage cluster has failed, wherein respective data protection levels are maintained for respective files. The system can traverse the respective files, comprising, in response to determining that a data protection level for a file is degraded and that the file is a priority file, adding an identifier of the file to a priority table for restoration of data protection, or, in response to determining that the data protection level for the file of the respective files is degraded and that the file is not the priority file, adding the identifier of the file to a non-priority table for the restoration of data protection. The system can, after traversing the files, restore respective first data protection levels of respective first files represented by the priority table, and then restore respective second data protection levels of respective second files represented by the non-priority table.

  • Patent number: 8716101
    Abstract: A structure for reducing electromigration cracking and extrusion effects in semiconductor devices includes a first metal line formed in a first dielectric layer; a cap layer formed over the first metal line and first dielectric layer; a second dielectric layer formed over the cap layer; and a void formed in the second dielectric layer, stopping on the cap layer, wherein the void is located in a manner so as to isolate structural damage due to electromigration effects of the first metal line, the effects including one or more of extrusions of metal material from the first metal line and cracks from delamination of the cap layer with respect to the first dielectric layer.
