Abstract: A microfluidic device provides high throughput generation and analysis of defined three-dimensional cell spheroids with controlled geometry, size, and cell composition. The cell spheroids of the invention mimic tumor microenvironments, including pathophysiological gradients, cell composition, and heterogeneity of the tumor mass mimicking the resistance to drug penetration providing more realistic drug response. The device is used to test the effects of antitumor agents.

Abstract: A system and method for global data compression. The method includes splitting a dataset into a plurality of blocks; for each block of the plurality of blocks: computing at least one similarity hash for the block; determining, based on the at least one similarity hash, whether a similar block is found for the block, wherein a similar block for a block has a similarity hash that is similar to one of the computed at least one similarity hash for the block; compressing the block by replacing data of the block with a reference to the similar block and a delta when a similar block is found, wherein the delta is a difference in data between the block and the similar block; and compressing the block independently when a similar block is not found.

Abstract: A hiccup management scheme for use within a storage system can maintain low latency on client I/O when a storage device is temporarily unavailable. In some embodiments, a storage using uses double parity data protection can tolerate concurrent hiccups by up to two storage devices within a storage array.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a process that can be used to balance the allocation of primary memory between different types of information. In some embodiments, the memory allocation is balanced dynamically based on observed I/O patterns. Related system embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Described herein are several embodiments of systems and processes to decrease startup time for subsystems of a storage system. According to some embodiments, subsystem memory is allocated using memory-mapped files.
