Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for evacuating memory from a drawer in a live multi-node system are provided. Aspects include placing a first drawer into an evacuation mode. The evacuation mode includes a cessation of non-evacuation operations and provides for a transfer of data stored by memory of the first drawer to a destination drawer using dynamic memory reallocation (DMR). Aspects also include transmitting a store request by the first drawer to the destination drawer. The store request represents a request to transfer the data stored by the memory of the first drawer to the destination drawer for storage by the destination drawer. Aspects also include transmitting the data stored by the memory of the first drawer to the destination drawer. The data is transmitted by the first drawer using a local pool of fetch/store controllers.

Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and media for simultaneous, non-atomic request processing of snooped operations of a broadcast scope within a SMP system. An example method includes detecting, by a first controller, based on a set of coherency resolution conditions, whether there are coherency resolution problems between two snooped operations. The method includes in response to detecting, by the first controller, that coherency resolution problems will not result, transmitting, from the first controller to a second controller, an indication signal indicating that coherency resolution problems will not result from the operation. The set of coherency resolution conditions includes: (a) detecting that a second operation of the two snooped operations operation is of a predetermined type, (b) detecting at time of snooping of the second operation that a directory state does not allow for exclusive data, and (c) detecting that the first controller has started committing to an update.

Abstract: An edge server of a content delivery network (CDN) can serve as a proxy for an origin server. The edge server can remove distinguishing characteristics of the origin server. As a result, an end user system may be prevented from blocking content from the origin server based on the distinguishing characteristics. Additionally or alternatively, the edge server can encrypt a portion a uniform resource locator (URL) referencing the origin server so that the clear text of the URL does not follow a recognizable pattern. The path can be decrypted by the edge server when the edge server communicates with the origin server to retrieve the content from the origin server.
