Abstract: A method of checking connection states of source nodes in a cluster is carried out by host computer, collecting information of a source node of each monitored computer, and generating a checking list. Each source corresponds to a plurality of network interface, and each network interface corresponds to a plurality of target nodes. At least one source node is selected as a to-be-checked source node. Each to-be-checked source node confirms the corresponding target nodes based on an instruction to detect network. Connection states between each to-be-checked source node and the target nodes are detected. A reason for detection failure is confirmed based on the result of detection and the checking list. An electronic device and a computer readable storage medium applying the method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A read operation is performed on a memory device in accordance with a pass-through voltage setting that defines a pass-through voltage applied to one or more cells of the memory device during read operations. A number of zero bits read from the memory device based on the read operation are counted and compared with a threshold value. Based on the number of zero bits exceeding the threshold value, the pass-through voltage is increased by adjusting the pass-through voltage setting.
