Abstract: A computing system that enables data stored in a persistent memory region to be preserved when a processor fails can include volatile memory comprising the persistent memory region, non-volatile memory, and a system on a chip (SoC). The SoC can include a main processor that is communicatively coupled to both the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory. The SoC can also include an auxiliary processor that is communicatively coupled to both the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory. The SoC can also include instructions that are executable by the auxiliary processor to cause the data in the persistent memory region of the volatile memory to be transferred to the non-volatile memory in response to a failure of the main processor.

Abstract: Zone hints for use with a zoned namespace (ZNS) storage device. Zone hints include one or more of a first hint indicating that a zone is part of a group of a plurality of zones, a second hint indicating that the zone is to be fast-filled, or a third hint indicating that the zone is associated with a background operation. The first hint is structured to instruct the ZNS storage device to allocate to the zone a first storage resources that are physically adjacent to second storage resources reserved for others of the plurality of zones. The second hint is structured to instruct the ZNS storage device to bypass a staging area when writing to the zone. The third hint is structured to instruct the ZNS storage device to deprioritizing at least one operation writing to the zone, or to bypass the staging area when writing to the zone.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for utilizing a protocol over RDMA network fabric between a first computing node and a second computing node. The protocol identifies a first threshold and a second threshold. A transfer request is received, and, a data size associated with the transfer request is determined. Based up the data size associated with the transfer request, one of at least three transfer modes is selected to perform the transfer request in accordance with the first threshold and the second threshold. Each transfer mode utilizes flow control and at least one RDMA operation. The selected transfer mode is utilized to perform the transfer request.
