Abstract: Provided is a method for managing a network slice instance (NSI) in a communications network. A first performance of the NSI is monitored by a first network slice subnet instance (NSSI) associated with the NSI. A first node obtains, from a second node, a request to monitor a second performance of the NSI. The second performance is of one or more microservices to provide data on a sector of the network. The first node determines, based on one or more requirements of the request, to perform one of: i) initiating (303) a creation of a second NSSI adapted to monitor the second performance based on the requirements, and ii) modifying, based on the requirements, an existing second NSSI, to monitor the second performance. The created or modified second NSSI being: a) independent from, and b) sharable with, the first subnet slice instance.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein address the need to more efficiently backup a network-based storage environment that may be remote from a primary storage environment. For example, embodiments herein can provide a more efficient backup of a storage managed by a third-party entity. To improve the backup process, embodiments herein may optimize the number of scanning threads that are used to identify files that are to be backed up by, for example, analyzing the characteristics of the network and/or the network storage system to determine a number of scanning threads that will enable faster scanning of the network storage system while at the same time not overburden or be slowed down by a network between the network-based storage environment and the primary storage environment.

Abstract: System on a Chip (SoC) integrated circuits are configured to reduce Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) power leakage. For example, SoCs configured to reduce SRAM power leakage may form part of an artificial reality system including at least one head mounted display. Power switching logic on the SoC includes a first power gating transistor that supplies a first, higher voltage to an SRAM array when the SRAM array is in an active state, and a third power gating transistor that isolates a second power gating transistor from the first, higher voltage when the SRAM array is in the active state. The second power gating transistor further supplies a second, lower voltage to the SRAM array when the SRAM array is in a deep retention state, such that SRAM power leakage is reduced in the deep retention state.

Abstract: A computer program product, system, and computer implemented method for management of a consolidated database and implementing pluggable database recovery with redo filtering in a consolidated database according to some embodiments. Generally, the process includes ongoing activities that maintain activity logs and summarize the activity for respective activity logs (e.g., in an activity vector maintained in a consolidated database catalog). In some embodiments, event-based activities corresponding to recovery processes are triggered by an administrator or an automated process, completed and then do not occur again until another triggering event. The event-based activities can leverage the summary information to quickly determine which online activity logs are relevant to the type of recovery operation for a particular pluggable database.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein relate to an improved selective data backup system. In some embodiments, one or more components in an information management system can determine that a portion of the primary data scheduled for backup was previously backed up or is scheduled to be backed up as part of another backup operation. For example, a data agent performing a cluster-level backup operation for an entire cluster of storage servers may check whether any part of the primary data was previously backed up by a prior server-level backup operation for one of the storage servers in the cluster. If so, the data agent may skip, in the cluster-level backup operation, any portion of the primary data stored in the storage server previously backed up as part of the prior server-level backup operation.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided to intelligently and dynamically manage a data center comprising at least one server and at least one central manager. The central manager is programmed to access the at least one server on a predetermined schedule to determine whether at least one application is functioning properly by determining a functionality level. Alternatively, the central manager determines whether the at least one server is actively used by determining an activity level for the server. Based on the central manager's determinations, the system dynamically adjusts the power level of the server, resulting in reduced power consumption and a reduction in wasted resources and unnecessary processing power in the management of servers in a data center.

Here, non-volatile memories (NVMs) include magnetic random-access memory (MRAM), resistive RAM (ReRAM), ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM), phase-change memory (PCM), etc. In some cases, features of endurance mechanisms (e.g., randomizing mechanisms) are applicable to volatile memories such as static random-access memory (SRAM), and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The endurance mechanisms include a wear leveling scheme that uses index rotation, outlier compensation to handle weak bits, and random swap injection to mitigate wear out attacks.

Abstract: A low dropout regulator includes a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) circuit, an amplification circuit, and an output circuit. The PTAT circuit outputs one current, and the amplification circuit outputs one or more currents. The one or more currents are outputted by the amplification circuit based on collector-emitter voltages associated with transistors of the PTAT circuit. Alternatively, the one or more currents are outputted by the amplification circuit based on the current outputted by the PTAT circuit and the collector-emitter voltages associated with the transistors of the PTAT circuit. The output circuit generates one or more output voltages based on at least one of a base-emitter voltage associated with a transistor of the PTAT circuit and a current of the one or more currents outputted by the amplification circuit.
