Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the sharing and transferring of user data in online network systems operating in multiple jurisdictions. The different jurisdictions may be, for example, different geo-partitions in an online network system. Various techniques are disclosed for providing cross-partition operational functionalities (e.g., cross-geo transactions) between geo-partitioned server systems through the sharing and transferring of data between the geo-partitions. The geo-partitions may have established permissions for data that can be shared between the geo-partitions. A server system in one geo-partition may generate an auxiliary account from a subset of data shared across the geo-partitions that complies with the data permissions. Complying with the established data permissions may inhibit overlapping between the different laws or regulations of the geo-partitions.

Abstract: A graphics pipeline includes a cache having cache lines that are configured to store data used to process frames in a graphics pipeline. The graphics pipeline is implemented using a processor that processes frames for the graphics pipeline using data stored in the cache. The processor processes a first frame and writes back a dirty cache line from the cache to a memory concurrently with processing of the first frame. The dirty cache line is retained in the cache and marked as clean subsequent to being written back to the memory. In some cases, the processor generates a hint that indicates a priority for writing back the dirty cache line based on a read command occupancy at a system memory controller.

Abstract: Analytics-based optimized maintenance operations for a hyper-converged infrastructure are described. An example includes instructions to establish an order for a sequence of maintenance operations including collecting data points that relate to high availability of multiple nodes in a storage infrastructure; performing analysis of the collected data, including discovery of groups of nodes that don't have mutual relations with other paired nodes; receiving a request to perform a maintenance operation for the plurality of nodes; generating an ordered sequence of groups of nodes for the maintenance operation based at least in part on the analysis of the collected data, each group including one or more nodes; and performing the maintenance operation for the plurality of nodes according to the sequence of groups of nodes, wherein the maintenance operation includes a power cycle for each of the plurality of nodes.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to the communication between server systems located in different network regions. For example, in some embodiments, a first server system located in a first network region may receive a request to perform a first operation for a user, where the request includes an alias value for the user. The first server system may determine, based on the alias value, that the user is not associated with the first network region. In response, the first server system may access an alias map that specifies encoded versions of alias values that are in use across multiple different network regions and, using the alias map, determine that the user is associated with a second network region. The first server system may then route a communication corresponding to the request to a second server system that is located in the second network region.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to verifying that an alias value is unique across multiple different network regions. In various embodiments a server system located in a first network region may maintain an alias map that specifies encoded versions of alias values that are in use across multiple different network regions. For example, for a given alias value, the alias map may specify a corresponding encoded version of the alias value and an identifier for a given one of the network regions with which the given alias value is associated. In various embodiments, the server system may receive a user-provided alias value from a user during an account registration process and, using the alias map, determine whether the user-provided alias value is already in use in any of the network regions.
